Reimagining A Park Avenue Property For The 21st Century

When first unveiled in the 1950s, Lever House was a prestige Park Avenue office building with the third floor serving as the company cafeteria. As part of the property’s renewal, design-build firm Marmol Radziner reimagined this floor as the Lever Club, a private multi-use space for the building’s tenants.

“In order to respect the significance of this iconic building, it was important to create an environment that would maintain the original design intent,” says Ron Radziner, the renowned firm’s design partner. “The materials we selected feel appropriate to the building, but they are also warm and inviting.”

The redesign includes an expansive bar with lounge seating, two outdoor terraces and conference rooms. “It’s important to offer workers a break from the typical routine of entering an office building, working and then going back down the elevator to leave,” Radziner reflects. “This is a space that encourages social interactions and connections.”
