BUILDING COHESION

When Rithm Capital hired us to design its new offices in a modern building on Broadway in Greenwich Village, we recognized that the project had two challenges: creating spatial and corporate coherence across two floors and bringing workers back to the office in the wake of the Covid lockdown.
Bisecting companies by floor typically means death to connectivity. So we sought a solution that made one space out of two floors: a dynamic, visually striking, conversation-starting central wooden stair. The stair literally connects the two floors, but it also serves as a focal point and aesthetic motif for the office, an arresting wooden sculpture that appears poised to leap—and sets the tone for the sleek fixtures, exquisite art program, and event-worthy lounge spaces that turn the office into not just a place to work but the place to be

The grand central stair rests lightly on its edge, rising where it should fall and falling where it should rise, an effect achieved with complex—and completely hidden—engineering.

Great sculpture, like great architecture, is meant to be experienced in the round. Every angle rewards the viewer with a different composition.
