The building site proved to be challenging on a number of fronts: the location of the MTA subway tunnel beneath 70% of the site, and the requirement to limit tunnel vibrations into the hotel’s guestrooms. Through Stonehill Taylor’s interdisciplinary collaboration with the structural engineer, acoustics consultant, and the interior architecture and design teams, the firm arrived on a solution that uses a Natural Rubber Building Vibration Isolation system.
