For this renovation the office was reduced back to the raw industrial loft it began as in 1929 as the mixed-use headquarters of publishing giant McGraw Hill. Hallways were created along the western window wall and the core creating “islands” of work space defined by 4’ high sheetrock partitions. The office was painted white from floor to ceiling, creating a peaceful juxtaposition to the bustling streets of midtown Manhattan below.
