After its transformation into a multi-tenant office building, the entrances, lobby, and street front remained relatively dark and uninviting. To improve both accessibility and ambiance, our firm was tasked with reimagining these spaces. The interior work involved re-lamping existing sconces and adding small aperture uplights to highlight the chamfered wall tiles and illuminate the iconic ceiling mural, “Weavers of Speech,” creating a warmer, more welcoming environment.
Externally, we updated both the main Sixth Avenue entrance and secondary Church Street entrance with new brass framed revolving doors and handicap-accessible pivot doors. The entrances were further enhanced with new lighting to ensure they stand out after dark. These thoughtful updates, approved by the Landmarks Commission, respect and preserve the building’s historic essence while providing the modern upgrades needed for a more inviting tenant and guest experience.
