Hermès of Paris

Gansevoort Street • New York, NY

Spacesmith continued its ongoing relationship with Hermès of Paris as executive architect on a new retail store in the historic meat-packing district of New York City. This project was a new concept for the Hermès team, marrying their traditional materials palette with a more downtown, metropolitan feel. The three-level boutique at 46-48 Gansevoort Street emphasizes a product assortment that signals young and active to match the vibe of the neighborhood. One of the features new to Hermès is a communal sitting area with bar stools and phone charging stations, offering shoppers a place to hang out and order free coffee, sparkling water, or wine.
