109 East 79’s high ceilings and substantial casement windows create a strongly articulated facade with a direct connection to Park Avenue’s grand residential buildings of a century ago. Composed of limestone and hand-laid Roman brick in complementary shades, the facade is a celebration of both the beauty of nature and the skill of the craftsman.

A double-height entrance, featuring an expressionist art glass window by artist Mig Perkins, and a sumptuous lobby with soaring walls of Italian travertine, are simultaneously impressive and understated. 109 East 79 showcases the talents of an array of artists and artisans, sculpting and working with a wealth of exquisite materials.

A striking expressionist glass mural, designed by Mig Perkins and handmade in UrbanGlass’s’ studio in Brooklyn, sets the tone for a building where every facet has been considered. Decorative metalwork, designed and fabricated by New York-based Workspace11, is carefully fashioned into elegant staircase rails and intricate door handles.
