A double story flagship store for a European retailer was created within a historic building on Fifth Avenue, at the corner of Central Park and across from the iconic Plaza Hotel. The space was envisioned to take full advantage of its unique location, with framed views opening up to the Avenue and the Park. The project was presented and unanimously approved by both the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission and the location's historic district Community Board.
