Building of the Day: Lever House

This tour is sold out. Please add yourself to the waitlist.

Commercial office design was forever changed with the completion of SOM’s Lever House in 1952 as the first International Style building in the United States. SOM restored its façade in 2001, and returned again in 2023 to complete the building’s restoration. With a completely updated plaza and outdoor spaces, a revitalized lobby, and new mechanical systems that improve energy efficiency, the project has recaptured this midcentury icon’s original splendor as Park Avenue’s premier boutique office.

Please note: this tour is accessible by wheelchair.

Architect: Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) 

Meeting location will be emailed to registered attendees the day before the tour.
