Providing a contemporary image while showcasing an art collection in a light filled environment.
The Switzer Group provided design services for the expansion and restacking of Aspen Insurance at 590 Madison Avenue. The client acquired 24,000 SF of a new floor in addition to their previous two, occupying a total of 72,327 rentable square feet in the building.

Aspen Insurance desired a contemporary image to complement their art collection. Infused with natural light, the open work place layout includes an art gallery corridor to showcase work, in addition to added conference rooms and various collaboration spaces. Sit-Stand capability was included in the work station standards for both open work space and private offices.

Because of the extensive artwork, The Switzer Group created a branded image throughout the architectural design of the space. Finishes include a Fitzfelt wall treatment, stone, glass, and metal trimming. The project was completed on schedule and budget.

"The Switzer Group learned our unique space and operational needs and were energetic and engaged throughout the construction. They worked closely with the project construction manager and helped ensure our vision for the building attained."
