This 2,800 square foot space is used by the New York Filmmakers Cooperative
for the distribution and storage of experimental and independent films. It's
non-profit status necessitated an economical design and a refrigerated film
storage room already took a large part of the budget. An opportunity occurred
when a concrete waffle slab was discovered above. The concept then was to
play compositional games with the waffle slab grid using it to align walls or
to reveal it sparingly through ceiling cut outs. All lighting, doors and
hardware were industrial grade . The space also includes a small theater as
well as administrative offices.
