Subway Terminal Building

Subway Terminal Building, 1925 Downtown Los Angeles, CA
Another building in Los Angeles is converting to apartments. The lobby to the building had water damage on the plaster ceiling surrounding the skylight. I recreated the painted details on the damaged section, matching the patina-ed gold leaf to a copper tone. Seismic upgrades are needed on most older buildings. The construction consisted of adding several concrete walls and reinforced columns. To put these in, the original plaster ceiling and terra cotta columns were removed. I worked with CK Arts sculpting the plaster details to look like the original. See Below:
