New York, NY
The Hermès office at 55 East 59th Street underwent a stunning 29,000-square-foot, three-floor remodel that redefines luxury workplace design. Schnackel Engineers served as the MEP/FP designer, delivering systems that seamlessly support the project’s balance of elegance and performance. The buildout features custom millwork portals, terrazzo walkways, wood and glass office fronts, and acoustically enhanced environments to promote both style and productivity.
The program was designed with both beauty and function in mind. Highlights include high-performance AV-ready conference rooms, a bistro-style kitchen and dining area, and a library and coffee bar to encourage collaboration and comfort. Acoustical panels and sound baffles were integrated to create a focused environment, while a dedicated showroom for John Lobb and a special collaboration with Harley-Davidson add unique character to the space.
Completed over a 7-month schedule, the project reflects seamless coordination, precision detailing, and a shared vision with the client to deliver a workplace that is as functional as it is refined.
