DNA MODEL MANAGEMENT
NEW YORK, NY
For this job, we closely worked with Calvert Wright Architecture PC as their exterior envelope consultants.
The DNA Model Management is a boutique model agency that has become a powerhouse in the fashion industry. In an environment often criticized for its objectification of women, DNA stands apart by treating their models in a familial manner. Because this management style transcends the strictly professional, DNA required offices that are similarly flexible. A variety of private and open spaces are provided with additional informal interior and exterior areas for work, collaboration and relaxation.
​
In addition to 6,500 square feet of interior space, DNA has a private 1,500 square foot planted roof deck. The transition from their 6th floor space up to their roof deck is created with a 465 square foot planted terrarium. The terrarium is open to the sky and brings additional day light into the center of the floor.
