Carl Stahl is proud to have their work featured on America ByDesign alongside the Mini Tower One project, designed by MODU Architecture. Located at 536 Court Street in Brooklyn, this innovative building showcases how thoughtful material selection can elevate both form and function in modern architecture.
For Mini Tower One, the Carl Stahl Cable Mesh System was selected to serve as a vertical barrier for fall prevention — a solution that delivers on safety without compromising the building’s design vision.
Custom Fabrication for Every Project
Every Carl Stahl cable mesh installation is custom made to meet the specific demands of the project. For runs longer than 250 feet, the mesh can be joined using an invisible seam, creating a continuous, uninterrupted appearance with no visible breaks in the design. The fabrication process also allows for a variety of custom shapes within the mesh — including diagonal, triangular, and more — giving architects the creative freedom to realize their vision.
Maximizing Natural Light in Modern Architecture
One of MODU’s primary design goals for Mini Tower One was to preserve as much natural daylight as possible throughout the space. Traditional solid railing panels or glass systems often compromise light flow or introduce visual bulk. The Carl Stahl cable mesh allowed the team to maintain open, luminous sightlines without sacrificing safety or structural integrity — a rare combination in architectural railing design.
Simple, Efficient Installation
From a construction standpoint, the system integrates seamlessly with a straightforward railing post and frame setup. With no complex fabrication or custom detailing headaches, the installation process is clean and efficient — keeping projects on schedule and within budget.
Zero Maintenance. All Stainless Steel.
Perhaps the most compelling long-term advantage of the Carl Stahl cable mesh is that it requires no maintenance whatsoever. Constructed entirely from stainless steel, there is no painting, finishing, or ongoing upkeep required. For developers and building owners, that means reduced lifecycle costs and no aesthetic degradation over time.
