Sports Illustrated Headquarters Lobby
New York City, USA
SI launched its flagship headquarters in 2002 at 135 West 50th St within blocks of its parent company, Time Inc. 135 is a typical mid-block commercial insert designed by Emery Roth & Sons in the 1960s. The lobby is carved out of the retail podium and extends to West 51st Street. The lobby design sought to reintroduce a material palette of classic NYC lobbies with walls clad in stone veneer, custom stainless steel paneling and floors refinished in terrazzo. The modern language includes overlapping ceiling planes with recessed LED lighting and back painted glass covered columns, Both storefronts were replaced and introduced stainless steel awnings.
