Giorgio Armani
20-24 Newbury Street, Boston, MA

This high-end, retail fit out involved an extensive demolition and renovation of two existing levels of the Armani store and the fit out of a new third level. The existing elevator cab was extended to provide access to the new floor. The walls were customized with an Italian marmorino finish. Other finishes included intricate stone and millwork installations as well as distinctive lighting. The new store features an exceptionally unique, star-fire glass, curved storefront-the only one like it on Boston's fashionable Newbury Street.

The project also entailed the fit out of Armani's temporary store on Arlington Street to be used during construction. Lee Kennedy Co. coordinated the move and performed the temporary fit-out in ten days. Work included the construction of a bathroom, sewing room, offices and a complete re-paint of the entire space.
