Coterie Hudson Yards, located at 505 West 35th Street, is a prestigious assisted living facility where every detail matters. The developer hired WTS to perfect various interior elements, including the grand staircase that serves as a centerpiece. The staircase needed to look flawless, but it had several color inconsistencies and imperfections that detracted from its elegance.
