Lever House New York : Architecture Information
Famous 20th Century Building - design by SOM Architects
Lever Building
(Lever House)
390 Park Avenue, New York
1950-52
Design: 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
