When Philip Johnson designed 550 Madison, he drew upon the fundamental principles of classical architecture to create a building that felt monumental, modern, and completely different from what had come before. Now, the visionary international design firm Snøhetta is building on Johnson’s foundation, reinterpreting 550 Madison for the way we live today: bringing in daylight and air, designing a ground floor podium that will become a new destination, and creating a spectacular green scape and amenity offering. From the enlarged public garden, to the new amenity areas and flexible work floors, 550 Madison is being entirely reimagined.
