On the exterior, we relocated the entrance from the corner of Lincoln and Bedford, to the North façade on Bedford Street. This allowed for the corner to be leased as a retail space, and for the Lobby to be a simpler and better proportioned space. We designed a modern canopy consisting of painted steel panels. We transformed an under-utilized interior skylit Atrium into a dynamic place in which to meet for lunch by inserting amphitheater-like stepped seating between the lobby and the lower-level atrium, and also by installing a fiber-optic cable lighting feature suspended from the top of the south wall of the Atrium.

A new fitness center, with borrowed natural light and with locker-rooms and showers was inserted into an under-utilized space on the west side of the Atrium. The chevron patterns of the ornamental painted steel reference the cast-iron guardrails of the 19th-century exterior. The fiber-optic cable references the rigging of 18th and 19th century clipper ships, which once docked nearby on the waterfront.
