Formed in 2015, ICNCLST is a New York City based creative agency and artist management firm that combines innovators across arts and culture with world class brands. WAU was tasked with designing ICNCLST's HQ at 50 White St within the Tribeca historic district. The existing space, featuring generous sixteen-foot high ceilings, was heavily subdivided by the previous tenant. Existing partitions were demolished to create a singular unified space as a starting point for the design.
The project’s principal goal was to explore the spatial translation of ICNCLST’s unique business functions. With this approach WAU concieved a flexible space to accomodate office, gallery, and public functions. The scheme includes a new mezzanine floor that maximizes the use of ceiling height in the space and terraced seating incorporating a stair to connects to the new level. The space below the mezzanine level contains support functions including meeting rooms, toilet, kitchen/pantry, and storage. The entire addition is enveloped in fiberglass grating, a material chosen for its structural properties and ability to be a unique and unifying element in the space.
