NEW YORK, NY

A New York landmark since 1901, Bergdorf Goodman represents the global pinnacle of style, service and modern luxury. The building was originally conceived as a series of commercial townhouses that were purchased one by one by the Goodman family and converted into retail space. The result of this expansion over many decades was an interior evolving as a series of rooms completed in different time periods and not visually cohesive in design.

The overall architectural goal in renovating the ground floor was to unify the interiors through the use of color and light, respecting the heritage of the store, while simultaneously introducing modern and contemporary design elements to create an environment that bridges the past with the present. The design combines a classical vocabulary with elements of the French Moderne. Reorganization of the plan led to a new Jewelry Salon with its own dedicated grand entry and facade on 57th Street.
