William Balcony Custom Exterior Furniture & Architectural Millwork – Financial District, NYC
Completed: September 2024
Location: New York, NY
Project Type: project management, fine woodworking, finish, installation
Designed by Julie Son, Stand and Build engineered and fabricated this site-specific custom exterior furniture and architectural millwork installation for a private high-rise terrace in the Financial District, NYC. Built in our Long Island City studio, the custom outdoor casework integrates continuous decking with functional lounge seating and weather-resistant storage tailored to the apartment's terrace layout.
Milled entirely from solid, sustainably sourced Iroko wood, the piece features custom-made wooden door handles sculpted in-house alongside smooth organic radii designed to complement the surrounding contemporary architecture. Engineered specifically for harsh exterior rooftop exposure, the weather-resistant joinery incorporates concealed drainage channels, heavy-duty outdoor finishes, and ventilated cabinetry to ensure long-term durability against the elements.
From shop drawings and precision curved milling in Queens to coordinated high-rise delivery and installation in the Financial District, our team delivered a fully realized outdoor living installation built to endure seasonal extremes.
