In adding new elements, the designers drew from historical elements that had been part of the original construction, from a brass mail chute to textured plaster to leather used for shoes.

Original brick walls were kept to add texture to the space and showcase the original building. In terms of flooring, layers of materials like vinyl and carpet were removed to reveal original terrazzo flooring, which was carefully restored.
