Editor’s Message

Welcome to the 58th Annual Archi Awards for the AIA Long Island Chapter!

First of all, I am honored and proud to have had the opportunity of collaborating with Gary Hansen, AIA (2022- 2023 President) again, on this year’s magazine for the Archi Awards program. Needless to say, the entries submitted this year continue to amaze me in an unprecedented way. They just keep getting better each year! Many of the projects, especially the Archi Award and Commendation entries, showcase a deep thoughtfulness in responding to the unique challenges the design team faces. They not only address the social, economic, and environmental issues sensibly, but most importantly, they are beautiful!

This year is also a very special one for me. It is a huge honor for me to be part of the Jury this year. I am deeply grateful for AIA Long Island Chapter’s invitation and proud to serve alongside my fellow distinguished architects / designers on the panel.

I enjoyed reviewing all of the entries very much and would like to congratulate each and every one of the firms who participated in this year’s awards program for your contribution to the architectural profession.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the AIA Long Island Chapter and all of its members for giving me the opportunity to work on this publication for the third year in a row. I look forward to any future collaboration with the chapter in any capacity.

Congratulations again to all Archi Award and Commendation winners this year. You are who made the program successful. I hope you all enjoy the magazine as well! Thank you.

President’s Message

Architecture

in our community can inspire many people based on the design elements, environmental attributes, and its place in society. There are many architects working in the Long Island community as is represented by the over 100 submissions we have received this year, who can inspire our community by the architecture they have created. I would like to thank all the firms and individuals that submitted projects to the Long Island Chapter for their continued support and contributions to the built environment.

It is the goal of the annual Archi Awards program to provide professional and public recognition of architectural projects of design excellence. We can bring more awareness of the architects working on these projects to the public and publicize the great work that goes on in the community. From inspiring houses to office spaces where people go to work everyday (or every other day, thanks to covid) to community facilities like libraries and schools to local eateries and retail shops; architects and engineers work collaboratively to bring the owner’s dream to reality. The public rarely sees what it takes to pull off a design and through this awards program and the publicity it creates through the chapter’s social media accounts, we can bring the images of these works to the public’s attention.

There are many types of projects represented in the submissions from AIA Long Island member firms and of Long Island architecture, and they are all great projects. AIA is committed to climate action

and has been calling on architects to commit to sustainable and resilient design and many of the projects submitted have included these aspects. We hope through this program and awareness of the AIA’s commitment, that the public embraces this and continues to help improve our built environment to be more sustainable.

Along with the projects submitted, there are also many Honor Awards recipients who are being recognized for their involvement in our chapter and the community in the categories of Educator, Membership, Lifetime Achievement, and Architectural Achievement. I would like to congratulate every one of our Honor Award recipients this year and encourage them to continue supporting our chapter and community.

On behalf of the Executive Board and its members, I would like to thank the chapter members, AIA members, and companies who are a part of this presentation. Your support of the Long Island Chapter and this awards program is essential to bringing awareness of Long Island architects and Long Island architecture to the public. We will continue to provide programs like this as well as our monthly meetings, to help with your continuing education and continuing our fellowship and networking.

Our sponsors for the Archi Awards are a huge part of the success of this awards program. Thank you to all who have supported the chapter this year and

especially those who have taken the time to attend our events in person. It is our hope that we will continue to collaborate on future events in support of our members.

The awards are judged by a jury of our peers from other chapters of the AIA. This year we have asked neighboring chapters to be our jurors. I would like to thank each of them for volunteering their time to review the 105 submissions we have received. Reviewing, grading, and commenting on all of the awards is time consuming and challenging with so many well deserving projects that are submitted. Thank you for all the work you have done to make this Awards presentation great.

Thank you to the Archi Committee, who volunteered their time to help with the program and awards celebration. They truly invest many hours to make the event a success each year and we are grateful. Finally, thank you to our Executive Director Joanne Paulino. Joanne is the backbone of the office and with help from the staff, the board, and the Archi committee, the success of the Archi Awards is attributed to her tireless efforts.

The Archi Statuette

The Archi” was designed specifically for the 1970 Annual Long Island Association Architectural Awards Program. The name was taken from the Greek word Architekton, which means “Chief or Master Builder”.

The award is 13” tall, and incorporates a T-square, an arch and a three-sided face representing the past, present, and future.

HISTORY AND PURPOSE OF THE ARCHI AWARDS

Every year since 1964, the Long Island Chapter of the American Institute of Architects has celebrated outstanding architectural achievement through the annual Archi Awards Program. The purpose of the Archi Awards Program is to provide professional and public recognition of architectural projects of design excellence. The awards recognize projects conceived and built on Long Island as well as projects designed by Long Island architects, built or planned to be built elsewhere.

Since its creation by the Long Island Association of Commerce and Industry, followed by the involvement of the AIA Long Island Chapter, the Archi Awards Program has gained prominence as the Long Island community has begun to recognize and understand the impact of quality architecture on the built environment. To date, over 800 projects have received awards and recognition for design excellence. Each entry is judged on the success of the design solution presented and not in competition with other entries. Today, the Archi Awards Program is a major event in the Long Island design community which raises awareness of the importance of quality architectural design to Long Island as a whole.

HONOR AWARDS

Architectural Achievement Award Roger Smith, AIA

Withover four decades of diverse professional experience, Roger is an accomplished professional, academic, and philanthropist figure with demonstrated excellence in the fields of architecture, engineering and construction management. Having been awarded the AIA Lifetime Achievement Award by the Long Island Chapter in 2010, today Roger is receiving the AIA Architectural Achievement Award to recognize his outstanding service to the Long Island architectural community, and the quality and consistency of his architectural work throughout his distinguished career.

A founding principal of BBS Architects, Landscape Architects & Engineers, Roger is the architect-of-record for well over $3.0 billion in public and private construction projects across the Northeast. He is a past Member of the AIA Long Island Chapter’s Board of Directors, and a past member of the New York State Building Code Board of Review for Southeast Region, for which he served as Chairman for (14) years.

Roger Smith grew up on the South Shore of Long Island, in the Bayport-Blue Point area. After his graduation ‘magna cum laude’ with a degree in architecture from New York Institute of Technology, in 1978 Roger accepted a full-time position at Burton & Hand of Patchogue, where he had worked part-time as a college intern. He left to take a position in the design/build industry, where he gained more knowledge of not only architecture but also of the construction industry and, in particular, construction management. It was during this period in his career that Roger discovered the art of the well-drawn construction document - the very key to his long and successful career in architecture.

Following several years as a project manager for a construction management firm and a specialty subcontractor, and as a sole proprietor, Roger returned to Burton & Hand in 1984 when he was asked to run the firm’s architectural group. At the time, the firm was primarily known as a surveying and engineering practice specializing in local land planning. Roger initiated the firm’s gradual shift toward architecture, having redirected the focus of the firm and transformed architectural services into the integral component of its business. After only a year back with the firm, Roger became a Partner and Lead Architect of Burton Behrendt Smith (BBS).

More than (35) years after joining BBS, Roger’s most fulfilling accomplishment remains the firm’s qualityoriented culture that he had initiated over the years. At BBS, his ‘Playing Architect’ motto became a synonym to “designing for buildability,” or making intelligent and strategic design decisions which are based in reality of time and resources, expressed by quality construction documents. According to Roger, the key to designing a project that will stand the test of time is, “to present a project that is exciting, tangible, and constructible. Your drawings are the way the marketplace values you and grades you. Just playing architect is one thing, but a really good architect gets things built.”

By sharing this high level of commitment to quality along with his personal dedication to client relationships, Roger was able to establish BBS as one of the top multi-disciplinary practices in the Northeast. With virtually all architectural and engineering services available in-house, the firm today stands atop the educational facility market. Its success comes from the unhindered ability of its staff to plan, design, and develop a project in any type of setting. The firm has won numerous local (ARCHI) and national design awards, and has had its design work recognized and published many times over in the past (25) years.

Roger’s community and philanthropic activities have largely mirrored his professional and personal life. From 2008, Roger has been a Founding Member of FRIENDS of NYIT School of Architecture and Interior Design, from 2006 he served on the Board of Advisors Committee at St. John the Baptist Diocesan High School in West Islip, and from 2005 as a Member of the Finance Committee for Our Lady of the Snow RC Church in Blue Point – and most recently as a Trustee for the Church. He presently is a Board Member and Treasurer of the Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts.

Tree Farm House, Orient, NY

Ryall Sheridan Architects

The program for the house includes; three bedrooms, 2 ½ baths, mudroom, kitchen, open living/dining, office and a covered porch. Additionally there is a two-car garage with attached studio.

The clients wanted the main living space to overlook their adjacent tree farm to the west and to provide views to a sun filled south yard. The other spaces could be cozier and more enclosed. The resulting form consists of two volumes; the double height, open, pavilion-like structure contains the living room and porch while the bedrooms, kitchen and office fit snugly on two floors with smaller windows, being less concerned with views. The arrangement of the structures on the site creates enclosed and well defined outdoor spaces in the otherwise open landscape.

Passive House standards were used to detail the building envelope. The wall, roof, floor and window R-values are well above Building

$1 million)

Code requirements and intelligent, vapor-permeable membranes are used to create a super airtight assembly. A high efficiency ERV ensures a constant fresh air supply while saving 90% of the energy from the conditioned air passing through it. All electric systems were used in the house including all heating and cooling. A solar panel array on the flat roof offsets much of the energy use of the building.

The materials used here are found throughout this agricultural area including cedar siding and standing-seam metal roof. The form and arrangement of the volumes is reminiscent of nearby farm buildings. As a result, the house and garage are in keeping with the vernacular of the area in terms of scale and materiality while at the same time providing a state of the art energy efficient house in a modern vernacular.

Lilla Lane, East Hampton, NY

Oza Sabbeth Architects

This square generic, suburban lot was challenging to design on principally because of how unremarkable it was. The clients, a young couple looking to design a retreat that could host friends and be ready to take on the needs of a family one day, had one desire - To have their time here relate positively to the exterior environs. Hemmed in by neighbors on all sides, achieving this was not readily apparent on this site . . .

We often find when a client’s needs match up with a site’s limitations, possibilities emerge.

This matchup launched us on a path of form placement, guiding us to work more with the resulting gaps and in-between spaces. The approach allowed us to span the site, creating year-round courts that enrich one’s experiences throughout the home. Glazed

hallways then connect the volumes, which themselves get defined by the underlying program.

This design looks to invert the reflexive house-opening-up-to-thebackyard dynamic. Here the interior expands inward and upward while the exterior presses outward but remains contained. The final articulation of the design underscores this containment. Virtually all openings are sequestered onto landscaped courts, making them very private from the neighbors.

The tapered roof volumes, with non-uniform flanks, allow the building to extend further into the edges of the property. They contain the living space, which acts as the anchor to the home. The remaining forms get separated into little retreats; a private one housing the main suite and a more public one for guests.

The Six Square House is a ground up house located on a two-acre lot in Bridgehampton, New York, composed of six 24’x24’ gabled modules, flowing continuously from one roof ridge to the next. Roof eaves create an undulating surface, revealing unexpected sight lines across the exterior and interior of the home. Deep gray, slatted Accoya, enhancing the roof-scape’s dynamic arcs and emphasizing the monolithic nature of each module.

The design adheres to an internal geometric logic, while also responding to a series of critical site relationships. The house is a lens for looking out to reveal the extents of the site, and the rooms are organized sequentially to rationalize circulation, shared spaces and tuck away the private spaces towards the back. This design considers solar orientation; allows cross ventilation; works with

the natural storm water flow across the gently sloping topography; and respects clusters of magnificent mature trees, which focus views and create intimacy.

The tessellated arrangement creates strategic programmatic divisions across the home, with each module loosely tied to a different use: living, kitchen, main bedroom, secondary bedroom, porch, and garage, all which encircle a triangular courtyard. The living spaces and kitchen are linked to serve as a large open space emphasizing the flow of continuous ruled ceiling geometry, while bedrooms feature framed views of the site’s mature trees for privacy. On one hand, the design of the house is governed by its own geometric logic, on the other, the design reframes and connects back to the overall site.

In the mid 17th century early settlers of Montauk, New York established what is now the oldest working cattle ranch in America. Other ranches later emerged nearby and many remain but some have succumbed to residential subdivision. Their remnants survive today in the form of horse stables, barns, and workers’ cottages. One such cottage, a late addition built in the mid 20th century, sat near the top of a hill with almost 360º views of the nearby lake, ocean, sound, and nature preserves. Its new owners sought to maintain the existing structure’s unpretentious appearance and the pastoral landscape, while creating a larger house suiting the modern expectations of year-round living for a family of five.

The house structure references traditional livestock pens built from glacial rubble that meander through the local landscape. Its stone

walls extend to the top of the first floor, organizing its spaces and providing a base for the second story. The walls carve into the sloping meadow, reducing the apparent size of the home when viewed from the exterior. Some of the walls reach out and taper into the ground, cutting strategic sightlines into the hilltop and linking the house with the pool. These apertures brighten interior spaces, provide access to the lawns and meadows, and frame views of the lake and preserves. They carry from exterior, through the interior, and back to exterior. Cabinetry and built-ins abutting the stone walls are designed as freestanding pieces to further reinforce this continuity. Sliding glass walls disappear into recesses at the central sightline overlooking the lake, providing an uninterrupted connection between east and west, sunrise and sunset.

Sagg Farm, Sagaponack, NY

Bates Masi + Architects

Sagaponack, with its flat terrain and fertile loam, has historically been a farming community set within the resort enclaves on the East End of Long Island. In recent years, fueled by its proximity to the ocean, the tide of development has been steady. This project seeks to honor the agricultural traditions of the area by applying the fundamental principles of agriculture to architecture: placing order on nature and maximizing access to light and air.

Acres of north/south rows gave the community a grain and orientation. These principles are applied to the form of the house, which is separated into parallel bars spaced equidistant apart to admit sunlight and fresh air. Breezeways of operable glazing connect the more solid bar forms while allowing the passage of light and wind.

Agriculture juxtaposes organic plant forms with meticulously cultivated straight rows. This beautiful contrast inspired the treatment of materials in the architecture. The dimensions of the house are broken down to a 4’ module in both plan and section. This 3-dimensional grid governs the placement of everything from walls to light fixtures. Materials are selected and manipulated to defy the strict order. The rainscreen siding of thin cedar strips was installed green and fastened with only 2 screws at the center. The unfastened ends of each board are free to warp according to their grain direction, creating an organic pattern within the rigid framework. The pattern will further change over time depending on the exposure to the sun and rain. Inside, stone with prominent veining was selected to contrast the otherwise crisp lines. At the stair, rows of wood balusters are free to rotate around their supports. Felt louvers on each baluster serve as acoustic absorbers and catch the wind or a passing hand to rotate the balusters, continually changing the pattern.

Long Island Estate, Long Island, NY BMA Architects

This project is, in a sense, born of the land, its striking slanted roof mimicking the natural topography of the site. Local zoning code dictated that the maximum building height be measured from existing natural grade at each point along the length of the structure, and from this design parameter emerged the form of the house.

The family of four who own this vacation retreat are contemporary art collectors who were looking for an innovative way to display art in their residence. We expressed the gallery program as a discrete element from the mass of the house, articulating it as a second-story tube that cuts through the center of the house.

Long gallery walls run the length of each side of the tube and large windows open to the exterior at either end.

The space doubles as a lounge to the primary bedroom, merging the gallery sensibility with the functionality of a residence.

The materiality, inspired by the work of Tadao Ando, juxtaposes concrete walls with dark shou sugi ban wood siding for a dramatic interplay set against lush landscaping. The art collection also animates the exterior, where thoughtfully placed sculptures around the pool complete the vision of a space where art can mingle with life.

The New York Times - Starbucks Amazon Go, New York, NY

William F. Collins, AIA Architects, LLP

OpenedJuly f2th of this year, this project is one of the very first two ”Starbucks Pickup with Amazon Go” markets built in the world. Located in New York City at 40th Street & 8th Avenue at the famous New York Times Building, this brand−new concept features a combination of a Starbucks Pickup coffee shop along with an Amazon Go market. In keeping with both brands’ well−regarded status as world leaders in innovation, the space utilizes the ”Order Ahead” feature in the Starbucks mobile app and Amazon Go’s ”Just Walk Out” technology to create an easy checkout experience. A modernized lounge features individual workspaces and expanded tables with power outlets and USB ports. This store offers the full Starbucks menu, and a curated assortment of fresh−prepared salads, sandwiches, bakery items, and snack options in the Amazon Go market utilizing its high−tech contactless experience.

Upon arriving, you are greeted by the signature Starbucks green of the geometric mosaic floor tile. The motif is then carried up to the front of the counter, which is highlighted with accent lighting underneath the uniquely designed counter top with a mix of stone and wood accents.

The Times building provides an embracing backdrop to the space’s warm earthy tones and mix of greenery and botanical inspired art, creating the perfect place to come and enjoy the company of others or simply relax by yourself. The space provides options for either, with its uniquely shaped lounge seating with beautifully crafted leather cushions, or the individual study carrels with perforated wicker panels for a quieter stay. Throughout the space, technology is seamlessly employed to help provide you with the contactless interface, ability to work or study, or to sit down for a quick minute to charge a phone or device.

Commercial Mercantile Renovations & Additions

95 Columbus Drive, Jersey City, NJ Spectorgroup

The reinvention of 95 Columbus contributes to the ongoing revitalization of its surrounding retail and business district. An upgraded façade, a modernized lobby, cutting-edge technology, and an emphasis on wellness are just a few strategic ways the design places the tenant and visitor experience at the forefront.

The pinnacle of the building’s redesign is an all-glass entrance and vestibule that seamlessly connects to the neighborhood and fills the tripleheight lobby with abundant natural light. To bring human scale and warmth to the expansive space, a grid of light fixtures is suspended over the reception area along with strategically placed seating and meeting areas.

A custom-designed reception desk made of polished granite and oxidized metal offsets the lobby to allow for better circulation.

Adding some visual punch, the building’s address number, “95”, is branded in backlit appliqué at the entry and repeated inside as a unique design detail. Brushes for Beuys (Gregory Coates, 2021), a series of large, shaped canvases on the wall near the elevator bank, brings a note of playfulness and urbanism.

Other finishes include a pattern of brass inlays in the Terrazzo flooring that is carried from the lobby into the pavers outside. A combination of vertical and custom fabricated horizontal concrete panels replaced the lobby’s former monolithic dark granite. Dark stained wood paneling and pops of color in the furnishings draw attention to the lounge and meeting areas and provide contrast to the overall neutral palette.

Historic Restoration / Adaptive

Fotografiska, New York, NY CetraRuddy Architecture

Fotografiska New York includes the renovation of an individual NYC Landmark known as the Church Mission House and adjacent Calvary Church Annex. The six-story Flemish Renaissance Revival Style Mission House constructed in 1894 and the mid-19th century Annex were reimagined, creating the NYC outpost of the Stockholm-based photography museum.

The newly activated ground floor with café, art bookstore and bar increases connectivity with the upper floors via a new elevator and a rerouted, expanded staircase that welcomes visitors up to the gallery floors 3-5 and a 6th floor multipurpose space.

Large wall graphics lining the stairway serve as a vertical extension of the exhibits. A new inner set of walls surrounding the galleries creates an intimate, flexible viewing experience while providing a projection surface visible from the street, enabling a public art show framed by the building’s iconic window apertures.

Re-Use

Windows were repainted and the ornate carved limestone and granite façade was cleaned, removing years of pollution. A stainedglass window, hidden for decades behind mechanical equipment and invisible from the street, was discovered on the east side of the building, and relocated to a prominent location within the second floor interior. The 6th floor multipurpose space now offers closeup views of the building’s façade details, roof structure, and street below from newly accessible dormer windows. Carefully integrated facade lighting highlights the rich folds of stonework, unique historic elements and the building’s sculptural materiality. The building was brought up to current building codes, which included adding an accessible entrance through the landmark facade. A new discrete internal passage to the Annex building connects the main bar to the other program spaces, extending the continuity of the ground floor.

This careful adaptive reuse preserves the stunning exterior while creating a tailored interior experience, and provides welcome public access to this once-private space

Hofstra University Science and Innovation Center, Hempstead, NY

Hofstra

University’s Science and Innovation Center serves as a national model for interdisciplinary education spaces. As the new home for the university’s School of Nursing and Physician Assistant Studies and its School of Engineering and Applied Science, the 75,000 square foot project will be flexible and responsive to future changes while enabling Hofstra undergraduate and graduate students to connect with their local communities, form partnerships, and explore collaboration across disciplines.

This building will establish the first community space on Hofstra’s East Campus. The massing concept draws from Hofstra’s masterplan to create an academic quad and a student hub. The U-shaped building creates a courtyard with the adjacent Zarb School of Business, forming an active common space that brings students and staff together.

Inside the Science and Innovation Center, program adjacency is

specifically designed to encourage cross-disciplinary learning. For example, nursing students can take advantage of learning about prototyping of medical devices in the Engineering School’s maker space, while engineering students can use the Nursing School’s cutting-edge laboratories to explore how VR technology and big data can be used in a healthcare setting.

The Science and Innovation Center is on track for LEED Silver certification. Additionally, several wellness-focused design features were incorporated into the project, including plentiful glazing that provides access to daylight, roof terraces that provide access to the outdoors, and a prominent staircase to encourage students to integrate small moments of exercise into their day.

The Science and Innovation Center is a collaboration between Hofstra University and Northwell Health. The project broke ground in June 2021 and construction will complete by mid-year 2023.

Madison Square Garden, New York, NY Spectorgroup

The Penn Station District in New York City is amid a transformative redevelopment/rebranding from 6th Avenue and Broadway to Hudson Yards. Madison Square Garden is at the epicenter of this new westside ecosystem, and the architect has been tasked to ideate the exterior (re)imagination of the Garden itself, to create a beacon of architecture the Garden is worthy of.

The design encases and reclads the existing MSG architectural drum with a new dynamic architectural stylization. The approach preserves the entire inner workings of New York’s Sports Mecca while catalyzing Madison Square Garden as the centerpiece for the New Empire State Complex. The concept includes removal of MSG’s 5,000 seat Hulu Theater on 8th Avenue, to make room for the 4-story iconic glass pavilion entry hall facing the historic Farley Post Office-Moynihan Station.

The new entry portal, as well as the creation of a ring of glazed entry points around the entire base of MSG, brings new pedestrian access to retail, dining, events, and the new proposed public rooftop garden amenity area.

A major part of this scheme is to energize the facades with digital imagery of the events taking place within MSG, 24 hours a day.

The design transformation strategies illuminate the powerful yet extremely cost-efficient approach that the architect has taken, that preserves and enhances the existing Madison Square Garden and Penn Station.

The Choice School Calicut, Calicut, India CetraRuddy Architecture

Located in Kozhikode, India, the Choice School Calicut campus will house 2,500 students for grades 1-12. The project takes advantage of the context with green roofs integrated into the landscape, providing flexible indoor/outdoor gathering spaces and athletic facilities like soccer fields, layered play spaces and a pool. Additional programmatic elements include spiritual area, performing arts center, playgrounds, art rooms, music rooms, dance studios and multi-functional classrooms.

The client desired a school that highlights the process of learning. Another goal was to design a school that is of its culture, yet progressive, creating future global stewardship for its students. To fulfill this goal, the design team decided to emphasize the visibility of learning and social environments; a circulation hierarchy to distinguish individual school blocks and grade levels within; activity nodes laced throughout; formation of “internal” linear courts to promote social interaction; and school block “streets” to promote identity, community and security.

To support the notion of gateway and arrival, a grand exterior staircase at the center of the linear school blocks ascends the hilly terrain. This topography is the principal organizing element for each school block, with younger children at the base and older students rising to the top. Intersecting views and vistas enable students to orient themselves visually and spatially.

The project incorporates sustainable strategies such as concrete structures for thermal mass; natural ventilation and shading for reduced air-conditioning costs; local materials; green roofs and overhangs to reduce heat gain; highly insulated walls and roofs; and amble daylighting strategies throughout the campus. Colorful vertical “fins” integrated into the elevations help reduce solar heat gain and provide identity for each school.

Taking cues from the region’s cultural and climatic contexts, the new Choice School in Calicut becomes part of the landscape in its massing strategy and in materiality, form and reference.

Medical Knowledge Group, New York, NY

Spectorgroup

With a strong remote work culture, Medical Knowledge Group’s new office location was more important than its size. Previously spread across 2 locations with 200+ employees, MKG’s footprint was consolidated into a single headquarters in One World Trade Center with just 18 seats. The CEO maintains a permanent office on site, while the rest of the staff is given full remote flexibility. This decision allows the company to maintain a headquarters in a highly desirable location and keep overhead costs down. Most importantly, this office is a pilot for their other locations around the country.

A virtual-first workplace model for MKG harnesses the power of strong company culture, increases value, and improves employee retention. The office is designated as a brand hub and a place dedicated to sharing information—people can share their work in a central, open forum with smart technology, or in a more informal presentation alcove.

Capitalizing on the panoramic views of Manhattan from the 84th floor, the concept makes employees and visitors feel that they have been transported to a different place when they step off the elevator. The entrance is welcoming and multi-directional—an open lounge with an adjacent hospitality bar instead of a formal reception area. The materials are light, airy, and textural, drawing even more attention to the incredible views. Light woods, soft whites and grays are punctuated by the company’s primary color of red.

Technology takes center stage, both in the office and at home. Multiple cameras in meeting rooms, the latest teleconferencing software and pin-up spaces connect and immerse people across the company. Cameras are strategically placed, allowing workers to see their colleagues sketching on whiteboards, pinning up ideas and materials, and interacting in a much more dynamic way.
