New York, NY
Shorenstein Realty Services selected Gertler & Wente Architects to design their New York office headquarters within their newly acquired property at 850 Third Avenue. The 11,000 square-foot. space benefits from commanding 17th floor views of midtown Manhattan and includes a 7,000 square-foot wraparound terrace on three sides. Utilizing glass office walls, up-lighted coffered ceilings, textured limestone walls, bamboo floors, and a back-lit acrylic feature wall at the reception area, the design takes advantage of natural light playing across textures, patterns and colors to create a rich, yet restrained work environment. Multiple conference rooms with teleconferencing capabilities were included. Gertler & Wente Architects worked with HMWhite Site Architects in developing the undulating and varied landscape design, punctuated with natural plantings, trees, seating areas and exterior sculptures.
