SIZE
3000 sqft - 5000 sqft
The penthouse loft at 463 Greenwich Ave occupies the southwest corner of a converted warehouse in Tribeca. The large open space had previously been used as a painter's studio due to the copious amounts of light from both western and southern exposures. Except for a small kitchenette and bathroom, the space was completely bare and unpartitioned with exposed brick walls and a topography of ceiling joists supporting the roof above.
The sheer volume of the raw space is what initially attracted our clients to the property. They were excited to explore how the large loft could provide them with a multi-level living and working experience. The open plan allowed us to play with the idea of how discreet objects within a larger space can help define a larger volume. The partie is quite simple, private functions (a guest bedroom, secondary bedroom with two bathrooms, and the master bathroom and master closet) are located inside three discreet volumes or cores within the context of the larger space.
At the south end of the loft is a two-story glass and steel wall that allows light to flood into the loft from the south, while defining the master bedroom suite in its own separate wing. Living, kitchen, dining, and circulation occur in the interstitial spaces between the cores.
Due to the gracious ceiling height, the three privacy cores stop short of the ceiling allowing for the spaces above them to be put to good use. Lower ceiling heights above the master bath and closet core provide 300 square feet of highly sought after storage. More generous ceiling heights above the two bedroom cores created an opportunity for two home offices. These upper spaces are encircled by starfire frosted glass guardrails allowing walls below to blend seamlessly with the glass above. Connecting the offices is a bridge composed entirely of clear starfire glass.
Glass beams support a glass walkway that has glass guardrails. At certain vantage points the bridge completely disappears allowing the two bedroom cores to stand alone.
Access to the upper living spaces is provided by a custom blackened steel and oak ship's ladder that sits discretely off the main foyer entry giving the couple the opportunity to go straight to work without ever disturbing the continuity of private life in the spaces below. Built-in millwork shelving provides ample storage opportunities for books and supplies. Additionally, TCA was commissioned to custom design each of their work stations. Each desk is comprised of a tapered blackened steel tube base with cantilever arms that support the desktop surface, hovering above, on pins located at the end of each arm. To add to the sense of lightness the desktop surface made of lacquered mdf is beveled back to reveal an imperceptibly thin edge.
Back at the lower living level, the kitchen is centrally located between the secondary bedroom core and the master bath and closet core. Designed in conjunction with Poliform of Italy, the white acrylic cabinet surfaces, calacatta marble counters, and sleek Gaggenau appliances provide the backdrop to the act and art of cooking, one of our client's passions. Small touches like the custom calacatta chevron mosaic backsplash and concealed outlets that pop up from the main kitchen countertop island add distinctly personal touches.
It was the client's desire that the kitchen be the heart of the space. Cooking and entertaining for family and friends is an integral part of the client's private life. As such, the kitchen island is center stage and a central monitoring point for a growing family of four. The dining room and living room spaces are immediately adjacent to the kitchen. One end of the dining room features a 6-foot-long gas fireplace while the other is anchored by a built-in piece of millwork that acts both as a credenza for storage of plates and linens on one side, and an a/v cabinet on the other with a concealed TV that can be raised with the touch of a button. A structural glass skylight directly above the dining room floods the room with additional light from the outdoor terrace above.
Just beyond the living room, the master bedroom suite occupies the southern end of the loft behind the soaring double height wall of steel and glass. The suite is composed of both a double height master bedroom and den which can be used simultaneously when the door between them is opened. Located centrally between the two rooms is a two-sided fireplace with views into both rooms. A custom blackened steel surround on the bedroom side includes a sliding panel when privacy is desired. When required, curtains along the glass wall in both the master bedroom and den can be drawn to allow for complete and total privacy.
The master bedroom is attached to the master closet and bathroom core via a series of sliding doors. The closet acts as a buffer space between the master bedroom and bath the walls of which are entirely clad in slabs of Calacatta marble. The tub is the centerpiece of the bath with a waterfall tub filler emerging from the enclosing stone walls. Immediately next to the tub is a wall of glass which conceals with a private toilet compartment and a steam shower with an integral stone bench. The floor and wall niches in the wet areas features the same custom Calacatta chevron marble found at the kitchen backsplash. A custom oak vanity and mirror wall with integral cove lighting completes the spa-like experience.
Returning to the main living space the custom glass, oak, and blackened steel stair is the main focal point of the interior space. The stair leads up to a glass and steel pavilion at roof level supported by massive steel beams that cross the loft in the ceiling above. Glass on three sides of the pavilion act as a light lantern bringing light further into the inner reaches of the living space below. Wrapping on all sides around the pavilion is 1500 square feet of outdoor terrace with built in Ipe clad planters encircling the perimeter. The pavilion helps to partition the space off into four discrete zones: an outdoor living room, formal dining area, sunbathing deck, and outdoor kitchen and bar. Tall Ipe fences provide privacy between adjacent areas of common roof shared with other tenants of the building, while sweeping views of lower Manhattan and the Hudson River are completely unobstructed to the south and west.
At night the outdoor terrace is completely transformed by lighting. Continuous cove lights in the perimeter planters softly defines the terrace's extents at night, while custom integral light slots between pavers bring a sense of playfulness to the rooftop. Both the glass structural skylight above the dining room and the glass and steel pavilion transmit soft, glowing light from the interior space below. A hand blown glass custom chandelier by Lindsay Adelman located within the pavilion sparkles as it refracts light from below.
Working closely with the clients, TCA helped to transform a raw space into a thoughtfully designed, handcrafted live and work environment tailor-made to the lifestyle of a growing family. It is truly a home and elevated sanctuary with windows and views that unfold towards the bustling city beyond.
