As an architectural technologist and engineer, I never worked with someone as dedicated to design manufacturing as Joshua Nelson. His devotion to detail, material exploration, form and exploration is otherwise unparalleled in the elevator industry. Throughout the years we worked together, clients and tradesmen were inspired to celebrate vertical transportation in a way that harmonized the existing material ecology and traditional building practices with modern design trends. Whether it was a historical restoration like the brass and travertine cabs at 1470 Rue Peel or the contemporary cab interiors at 320 Front Street it was always a pleasure working alongside Joshua.
