The interior renovation retained all of the original metal surfaces such as copper, steel, brass; aluminum detail and the stainless steel floating staircase; and original structural concrete floors were polished to reveal stone aggregate. Historic artwork of Nikos Bel-Jon, commissioned by ASM in the 1950’s, was discovered during construction, restored and is displayed throughout the building.
