Ted Moudis Associates

Inside the Chrysler Building, Ted Moudis Associates treated its own New York studio as a live brief for workplace design. The firm describes a full-scope interior that favors experience over convention, blending comfort, craft, and narrative so the office reads as immersive and intentional rather than a generic professional suite.

Planning and the material palette were shaped with staff input, with hospitality, wellness, and identity as guiding ideas. Soft lighting, warm materials, and natural textures set a quiet tone from the elevator corridor into reception, easing the arrival sequence. Beyond the front of house, central areas mix quiet corners with collaborative zones, each distinguished by material combinations and sculptural furnishings so the floor feels layered and lived-in rather than uniform.

A multipurpose room anchors shared life with a nature-inspired, backlit ceiling whose warm glow and layered texture reinforce the studio’s softer atmosphere. Circulation and seating settings support both focused work and informal connection, aligning with the firm’s stated aim of a place that invites creativity and community as much as productivity.

Published coverage places the studio at roughly 3,982 square feet and associates a 2024 completion with the Chrysler Building address at 405 Lexington Avenue. The project stands as Ted Moudis Associates’ demonstration of New York office design for a design practice: a compact headquarters where workplace strategy, branding, and furniture coordination operate as one continuous full-scope effort.
