office
Google’s offices at St John’s Terminal in the West Village was such a large project that this gallery is going to be double sized just to accommodate. Constructed by Turner, the project included every amenity one could want in their office, including multiple dining areas and a large amphitheater.
Although more and more people are moving to WFH (work from home), there are photographers like myself who have no choice but to be out in the field. It thus becomes an interesting relic of the past to see a gorgeous office space, like this exist. It was shot to market the space and, hopefully, a new company will take over and this won’t be as much of a relic but a snapshot. The plant life is all real and there is someone who comes weekly to attend to it.
Rinnovo provides construction and renovation to NYC clients and I shot a few of their properties on which they have done some fantastic work.
When I was in Brazil, my partner was really fond of the clothing at a store called Farm Rio, which didn’t seem to have an presence in the states. Flash forward a few years later and a client of mine mentioned they needed photos of a showroom in NYC - for Farm Rio! The space was full of tropical details in each and every nook, bringing that sunny Rio vibe to our metropolis.
