MKDA designs 20,000 s/f office for Harvest Partners at 280 Park Ave.
Corporate space planning and interior design firm MKDA has designed 20,000 s/f of office space on the 25th floor at 280 Park Ave. on behalf of New York-based private equity investment firm Harvest Partners, which had expanded from another floor in the building.
"The office had an existing installation that was dimly lit and that had small work areas and narrow corridors," said MKDA president Michael Kleinberg.
"Our solution was to open previously separate work areas and to optimize the floor-to-ceiling windows in the executive offices in order to capitalize on the Midtown views," said MKDA director of design Daniel DeSiena.
According to DeSiena, "The space is classic and traditional with clean, architectural detailing. As such, the space could be classified as transitional--a traditional space with modern elements."
