NYFE Summary

A clothing retailer commissioned this narrow building for its New York store. Its designers used large windows, dark stone and metal panels to create a different kind of fashionable shopfront.

The long vertical window bays rise above a glossy black base. Metal panels fill the spaces between floors. Compare these thin divisions with the heavier carved walls on neighboring buildings to see how the storefront design changed the street's appearance.
