The Lobby at Sky at 605 West 42nd Street is the grand entrance to New York’s largest rental building. Marquee lights and angled screens with a filigree-like brass chain infill create a theatrical entry, a nod to the neighboring theaters of Times Square. Central to the lobby is a monumental, carved marble desk with a bespoke glass chandelier above. The chandelier, developed with Czech glass maker, Lasvit, is composed of hundreds of hand-blown and individually braided glass pieces. Sculptural seating areas flank the sides of the lobby with custom watercolour rugs and brass accents in the furnishings.
The mailroom for this enormous residential tower is equally detailed and designed. Silk wallcovering and architectural uplight surround the perimeter. A repeated pattern in bronze millwork create texture and human-scaled detail for the expansive mailroom.
