Turkish Consulate New York   UN Plaza Tower Interior Package

The Turkish Consulate in midtown Manhattan has found a new home in an imposing high-rise tower constructed by Tishman Construction. The ambitious project's interior spaces, spanning 36 floors, were masterfully overseen by Studio Vural, which took charge of the interior design of both office spaces and staff residences, including the offices of the consul general and the ambassador.
Originally conceived by Perkins Eastman, the tower's layout underwent substantial modifications under Studio Vural's meticulous direction. The upper floors now house staff residences, while the base levels are dedicated to a sprawling array of offices accommodating the extensive Turkish governmental presence.
Every piece of furniture, meticulously chosen by Studio Vural, was manufactured and shipped from the Lazzoni factory in Ankara. The design team made a dedicated trip to oversee production, ensuring that every item met their exacting standards.
Opened in October 2022, this new consulate serves as a formidable hub for Türkiye's diplomatic efforts in the United States, symbolizing a blend of architectural prowess and strategic international presence.
