SoHo Loft

New York, New York
Ongoing

This loft renovation reimagines a rare space for a Manhattan family within a neoclassical building in SoHo. Previous renovations separated the apartment into multiple units and created mezzanine areas with circuitous circulation. The design reallocates mezzanine floor area to shape a new living space within the historic building shell, composed around a grid of six cast iron Corinthian columns. Elements of the original building were carefully restored—Italian marble flooring, sixteen foot high vaulted brick ceilings and oversized double-hung windows.

Complimenting the traditional shell, a mix of utilitarian materials and fixtures reinforce the SoHo loft character—patchwork floor infill areas of polished concrete, reclaimed maple factory flooring at the mezzanine level, plaster walls, commercial chrome plumbing fixtures, custom brass door hardware, and a commercial stainless steel kitchen. Larch wood was sourced for millwork elements, including a large paneled bookcase screening the entry area from the living space.
