Lever House New York: Architecture, USA

Lever Building (Lever House) 390 Park Avenue, New York 1950-52 Skidmore Owings & Merrill - SOM Architects International Style A beautiful piece of New York architecture facing Mies van der Rohe's Seagram Building and trying to give it a run for its money. Having had a good look at both I think Mies wins but nevertheless this was a classic in its day, podium and tower. Lever House has some public access within the working day Floating first floor - with gardens - over columned street space, recessed third floor with tower extruded above that. Lever House was refurbished by Skidmore Owings & Merrill Architects New York Skyscrapers Key New York Buildings close to the Lever Building: Seagram Building 375 Park Avenue, New York Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Architect; Philip Johnson Seagram Building Whitney Museum 945 Madison Avenue, Upper East Side Marcel Breuer, Architect Whitney Museum New York Lever Brothers - Contact: +1 212 688 6000 Key American buildings by Skidmore Owings & Merrill Architects: Lever House, New York 1952 Inland Steel Building, Chicago, Illinois 1958 JP Morgan Chase Building, New York 1960 Chase Manhattan Bank 1960 Beinecke Library, New Haven, Connecticut 1963 John Hancock Center, Chicago, Illinois 1970 Time Warner Center, New York 2004 Freedom Tower, New York 2004- New York World Trade Centre Some UK architects have also worked on Lever House : David Chipperfield Architects New York Architects Modern Architects World Architecture : e-architect - a guide to key buildings across the globe Lever House architects - Skidmore Owings & Merrill New York Building Comments / photos for the Lever House New York Architecture page welcome: info@e-architect.co.uk Lever Building New York : page - adrian welch / isabelle lomholt
