322 EIGHTH AVENUE CHELSEA LOBBY RENOVATION
A Historic Lobby Reimagined for Modern Connection
ABOUT THE PROJECT:
Re: Design Architects transformed the historic lobby at 322 Eighth Avenue, Chelsea, New York NY, restoring its neo-gothic heritage while creating a contemporary, hospitality-driven arrival experience. Rooted in contextual research and art-built inspiration from the existing art deco mural, the new lobby palette and detailing reimagine the space with warmth and intentional materiality, encouraging occupancy and social interaction. The renovation introduces a curated coffee bar, sustainable living moss wall, and layered lighting to support comfort, connectivity, and amenity-forward programming for tenants and guests. This thoughtful lobby design enhances tenant engagement, supports return-to-office initiatives, and reinforces the building’s architectural legacy.
