Avenue of the Americas: New York, NY

Urban Stewards

As originally built, the penthouse of a historic New York City building was an elegant dining room for an upscale department store. More than a hundred years later, its best characteristics — including excellent daylighting, high ceilings, and original architectural detailing — were reclaimed and made the focus of a commercial interior renovation. The 12,121 square foot office space was redesigned in 2006 by its future tenants, Cook+Fox Architects, demonstrating that a modern, professional workplace could also achieve LEED® Platinum certification.
