CHANEL
15 East 57^th Street
New York, NY

Size: 18,000 SF (boutique), 22,000 SF (offices, showrooms & boutique accessory floors)

HS2 was the executive architect for the LEED Silver certified Chanel NYC flagship boutique, designed by Peter Marino Architect.

The renovation and expansion of the existing 57^th Street boutique saw the flagship grow from 3 to 6 floors, with a new 6-story oversized aluminum and glass façade, completely new interiors and a monumental 4-story white marble cantilever staircase. A 60-foot-tall glass-bead necklace sculpture by the artist Jean-Michel Othoniel hangs in the stair opening, connecting the four main retail floors.

In addition to the boutique, several floors of Chanel office and showroom spaces were also built-out on the upper floors of the 16-story building.
