The latest episode of Cubes, —Mediabistro’s video series on office spaces— visits the 900,00-square-foot Hearst Tower near Columbus Circle in NYC. Featured: the Good Housekeeping Research Institute, where humanoids in white coats have been testing products such since the early 1900s. Below, please find a respite from the building’s signature glass and steel in the Good Housekeeping living and dining rooms, designed as soup-to-nuts replicas of the ones in the original Hearst building (the short, squat, Joseph Urban-designed 1920s building upon which Norman Foster’s 46-story tower now stands).
