Matrix Beyond Bronze

This project transforms the modernist Seagram Building into a future workplace, prioritizing human well being and environmental responsibility while preserving its iconic bronze facade. A new double skin structure enhances energy performance, within which the added structures define adaptable zones, serving as partitions and storages that reshape the open plan layout. Addressing post-pandemic workplace needs, this intervention revitalizes the Seagram Building, reestablishing its relevance through a renewed internal matrix.
