Located high atop a skyscraper on New York City’s prestigious Lexington Avenue, the headquarters of OrbiMed Advisors, LLC, was designed to give visitors a first-class welcome as they enter the premises, with an attractive reception desk as a centerpiece of the design. The desk utilizes a combination of marble and crystallized glass slabs, and it serves as a study in precision stoneworking.
The architect for the project was Ted Moudis Associates, which is widely known for its design work in the commercial and financial sector. “We had seen their design work before, and there were really very few changes by us,” explained Samuel D. Islay, Managing Partner at OrbiMed. “We wanted to keep it extremely clean.”
