Neshat Residence
Firm
Type
I-Beam was
asked by the internationally renowned artist, Shirin Neshat, to renovate her
loft where Shirin and her family could live and work productively, and
entertain their international artist friends and patrons.
Her desire was
to have a clean, modern and “uncluttered” space with a lot of storage for her
books, tapes, films, art work, etc.
Taking into
account the simplicity, duality, and the subtle yet powerful nature of her art in
addition to the elegance, grace and reserve of her personality, the goal was to
create a space that best reflected her lifestyle and wishes.
By
repositioning the two small bedrooms that were in the middle which had broken
up the loft into dark and separate areas before and relocating them to the back,
a dramatic and open public space was created which is immediately entered upon
stepping out of the elevator. Large transoms at the dividing wall between the
public and private space in the back provide filtered light into the family
room from the bedrooms. Magnificently high arched windows in the front
illuminate the public space during the day.
The grand
multifunctional space serves social events, film screenings, private dinners,
and fund raising events and is animated by a dramatic ornate glass chandelier piece.
The chandelier, made of hundreds of blown glass pieces in the center of the
space is homage to Shirin’s personal and signature style of simple garments
adorned by a single, beautiful and ornate piece of jewelry.
The minimal
but functional kitchen, as the social center of the home, is integral to the
main space with plenty of storage custom made cabinets and a long island bar
that is used for informal family gatherings and heated debates. The bar also
functions as a buffet for the fundraising events that these culturally magnetic
clients are famous for hosting.
The kitchen
separates the formal living room area from the casual family/screening room
where a state of the art projector and sound system is incorporated into the
walls for film screenings.
The desks at
the work area are custom built into the library and ribbon around three
adjacent walls as vertical support that turn into shelving. The stained oak
ribbon in contrast to the white shelves and cabinets, matches the floor. The
10” wide oak wood floor planks and the fourteen foot high ceiling as well as
the big metal clad industrial sliding door that separates this loft from the
adjacent building maintain the raw feeling of the old loft that was once part
of the manufacturing district in Soho.
In addition to
the new guest bathroom, a small master bathroom was created adjacent to the
bedroom, with a concealed vanity into the new closet, whereby maintaining a
spacious bedroom.
