Nicotra Arbor
Beginning with the Nicotra Group ownership's vision and a schematic plan, Studio North designed and constructed a custom AESS steel, wood, stainless steel, and tensioned cable structure for the ornamental arbor and shade structure. This included concept development, material and finish specification, structural design, lighting design, and complete execution.
The Pienza Arbor is a public installation that explores the dialogue between structure and landscape through the manipulation of steel, wood, and cable-tensioned elements. Designed and constructed by Studio North for the Nicotra Group in Fall 2023, the project exemplifies the studio's expertise in creating sophisticated architectural elements that blend artistic vision with technical precision.
