Harmonie club building extension

The Harmonie Club, founded in 1852, has occupied its Stanford White Designed Landmark building since 1905. Located just steps from Central Park, our Club makes for a beautiful backdrop to a quintessential New York City Wedding celebration. It is the club is the second oldest social club in NY. It has been host to numerous political and cultural luminaries in recent years.

In this project, our firm proposed the extension of the building, adding eight more stories for overnight guest rooms. Proposed bronze-finised canopy will give modern look to the building. The existing interior structure remains the same, but the use of space will be changed a bit. According to the programs, the interior furniture layout will be reorganized.
