Fogarty Finger was challenged to design an oasis that would attract office-workers to embrace the building’s unique location overlooking the Chelsea, Manhattan waterfront. The firm married their interior vision with the building’s unique exterior and raw architecture, heavily drawing on its rounded corners.

Simultaneously, they respected the client’s interest by providing colorful and soft furnishings that provide a noted contrast to the architect’s neutral palette. Exposed large bell-shaped concrete columns – a holdover from the structure’s warehouse origins – is a notable element the firm celebrated. In addition to enclosed conference rooms at the perimeter, the firm placed large, open pantry areas and soft seating groups adjacent to the windows to democratize daylight access and city views.
