David Geffen Hall at Lincoln Center, home of the city’s philharmonic, was an exercise in helping to rebirth one of New York City’s most iconic institutions. Completed in 2022, Modellus Novus reimagined the concert hall’s preeminent hospitality spaces to more directly acknowledge and celebrate the history and communities that shaped the area, namely the Afro-Caribbean San Juan Hill neighborhood that was razed to develop Lincoln Center. Through the creation of welcoming and inclusive environments in both the building’s interior and iconic public plazas, the firm is making space for diverse, future generations of patrons.
