How do we design a contemporary building that harmonizes with its historic urban setting while creating and celebrating the beating heart of New York’s media landscape? 

In Curbed, Justin Davidson shares a glimpse into our design for the new Robert A. Iger Building—The Walt Disney Company’s New York City headquarters—in what he describes as “a shocking burst of good taste.” 

Spanning a full city block at 7 Hudson Square, the new Disney NYC headquarters embraces its historic urban setting with a sinuous profile of cerulean green terracotta panels while inside bringing news, editorial, live productions, streaming, advertising, and more together under one roof for the first time. The result: “a handsome, urban, beautifully engineered cultural-production machine, making a statement by being better rather than different,” according to Davidson.
