Text description provided by the architects. The restoration of the Breuer building follows a light-touch approach, preserving defining features while introducing subtle upgrades to meet Sotheby's functional and operational needs while honoring Marcel Breuer's original design. Each found space is scrutinized and re-evaluated for its architectural and programmatic value, shaping an experience of the building that honors both continuity and transformation. The project underscores the role of preservation in safeguarding a cultural landmark while ushering it into its next era.
