Tribeca Live Work Loft

Organized on three levels , working spaces occupy the street-facing side of the Loft, interfacing with living spaces that open toward the garden. Removing portions of the original rear yard extension and first floor enabled installation of a garden, whose reflective surfaces animate and bring light deep into the interior. 

The Loft’s strategic deletions and insertions construct a new sense of urban site. The project reinterprets visible and invisible histories, repurposing spaces and elements to allow the emergence of new programs and relationships. The reuse of original materials from the existing space’s demolition defines new material assemblies that approach sustainability through the richness of history and place.
