Adam Feibelman

We collaborated with the architect to advise on a custom load-bearing steel staircase for the three-story home. We enlisted the local artist Adam Feibelman, who designed cut paper artwork inspired by the client’s Chinese heritage. Feibelman integrates these elements to create an interactive scene where zodiac animals are depicted in different branches of a symbolic "family tree". After the artist had hand stenciled the paper cutouts, the architect oversaw the team who digitized the designs and cut the steel railings using a water jet process. This project is a great example of how important it is to prioritize art from the early stages of architectural planning.
