I’d take their ignorance as a clear sign I needed a new architect and contractor.
your architect is inexperienced and your contractor is a fool…this is standard brownstone brooklyn stuff
That is a bit scary that neither the architect nor the contractor have any idea.
A gurdrail around and an open expanded metal lath will usually do it. It’s in the code. Your architect should be familiar with this. I’m away on vacation. Otherwise, I’d be able to provide you with the section.
