herzog & de meuron-restored breuer building opens as sotheby's HQ in new york

The Breuer Building"s adaptive reuse for Sotheby's, undertaken by Herzog & de Meuron with New York-based PBDW Architects, is approached with respect for its legacy as a New York icon. The architects retain the weight and texture of Marcel Breuer's bush-hammered concrete, which continues to express itself as both surface and structure. Along Madison Avenue, a subtle lighting scheme renews the facade's sculptural presence after dark.
