Program: A 4,000-square-foot loft residence.

Design concept and solution: This 1920s industrial loft adjacent to the elevated High Line pedestrian park has been transformed into a space for living, entertaining, and displaying of contemporary art. The private spaces are elevated on a natural-finish Brazilian walnut plinth and include three bedrooms, three bathrooms, storage, and service areas. Translucent glass sliding panels form a changeable threshold of privacy connecting the living area with the plinth. The master bathroom is conceived as a carved spa chamber and is finished in Botticino stone, with flush teak flooring. A satin-finish stainless-steel wall frames the entry.

Gross square footage:
4,000 sq. ft.
