Create a new office for venerable Brown Brothers Harriman that supports its core business needs while evoking the firm's long and prestigious history.
Brown Brothers Harriman (BBH) is the last privately held partnership bank in the USA and had been located at 59 Wall Street for 160 years. BBH relocated from its historic facility to 140 Broadway and selected SHCA to design base building infrastructure upgrades, interior design and branding/graphic design for 420,000 sq ft (3,900 sq m) of trading floor, client service areas, executive and private dining space, and general office space.
BBH occupies the first 20 floors of its new building, including an elegant lobby featuring a marble spiral stair that ascends to the double-height banking floor above. Maximizing this dramatic ceiling height, SHCA inserted a mezzanine, housing conference and dining rooms connected by a gallery. Each conference room has a distinct decorating scheme that corresponds to BBH's international locations.
To evoke BBH's long history, architectural artifacts were removed from existing locations and reinstalled in the new interior. These include antique bronze teller screens in the lobby and the Map Room featured in a major conference room on the executive floor.
