The last above ground piece of the Trade Center, now known as the Survivors’ Staircase, was preserved by the New York Landmarks Conservancy and a group of preservation partners.

On September 11th, this staircase at the northeastern edge of the elevated World Trade Center Plaza provided an unobstructed exit for people fleeing the site. As visitors now arrive at the 9/11 Museum’s main exhibition and education level, they follow the stairs that once led hundreds of survivors to safety.

We originally wanted the staircase to remain in place but came to accept a state-offered compromise: the 9/11 Museum would exhibit the stairs if we could figure out how to get them there. We engaged noted preservation engineer Robert Silman who cut them out of surrounding concrete and designed a steel “cradle” to hold them. Giant Port Authority cranes lifted them across Ground Zero to the museum site. The National Trust for Historic Preservation, the Municipal Art Society of New York, World Monuments Fund, and the Preservation League of New York were partners in our post-9/11 efforts.

Their first home in Harlem. A long-held dream realized.

This young family had saved for years to live in the neighborhood they loved. The apartment presented a challenge — they had been told the space could not accommodate both a living room and a proper dining area.

I believed it could.

By transforming the staircase banister into a built-in banquette, we carved out a dining space at the very heart of the home.
Around it, a gallery wall celebrates what matters most to them; jazz music, Harlem’s cultural legacy, and their deep connection to the Apollo Theater.

Because the most meaningful homes are not defined by the scale of the investment.

They are defined by intention.

Swipe to see how the staircase became a seat at the table.
