150 West 47th Street

Built in 1902 by Hunter Wykes and Charles F. Street and designed by Clarence Luce, 150 W47th St, or as it was then known Somerset Hotel, was originally a residential Hotel. Now it is only a residential building serving those who wish to live within the heart of New York City. Being that the buildings apartments have been gutted, redesigned, and modernized all that was left was the lobby to bring together the building. United Elevator Cabs was chosen to seamlessly fuse the new lobby with their out of date elevator through a modernization. With the incorporation of custom wood moldings and textured metals we were able to produce a product that is both modern and elegant.
