The building housing the famous Mr. A’s
restaurant has a new face, thanks to a $1.1 million exterior skin refurbishment
project done by Nautilus General Contractors.
The refurbishment was necessary because of
faulty “aesthetic modernization” work done on the building in 2002, according
to Stacey DiMeglio of Nautilus General.
The purpose of the work was to modify the
building’s color scheme. The color of the exterior panels was changed. “As
recommended by the architect, the existing sunscreen panels and mullions were
painted, using an epoxy primer and urethane enamel,” said DiMeglio. “Since that
time, the paint on the panels and mullions has continued to peel and fail, to
the point it has created a significant aesthetic problem and a continued,
increasing maintenance problem. It has been opined that the existing panels
should never have been painted, as the porcelain enameled surface is too dense
and smooth to accept and hold paint.”
The Nautilus project was to remove the paint
and restore the sunscreen and panels to their original condition, as existed at
the time of original construction, by physically removing the paint from the
porcelain enameled steel panels.
When completed, the ceramic panels looked as
they did when the building was built in the 1960s.
