When a New York Concert and Event Producer asked us for help with his loft in the East Village it was music to our ears, literally. Our goal was to create an instrument for living for him. This is how we did it -
Let there be light.
Located in the East Village directly south of Union Square the space had a storied rock and roll address and soaring ceiling height. It was also dark and cluttered and that’s the first thing we changed. We bathed the both length of the walls in light and took advantage of the existing Venetian plaster on the west as a receptive reflective surface. On the east we put our learning caps on and dove deep into what it means to build for a musician - it tends to get loud. Therefore, the client used acoustical insight from the many stages he works on to develop a wall that acoustically separates his space from the neighbor. Then, too, we flooded it with light. Thanks to Lewis Herman of Lighting Collaborative for the enlightening collaboration. Thanks also to Fire Farm for the rockstar light fixture that adds both grit and grace.
Clutter be gone.
With a renovation it’s important to know what to keep and what to change. We all agreed the existing columns had to stay and that we wanted to help them shine - they create rhythm, height and speak to the history we honor. We designed stairs that made use of the space below for storage. We collaborated with VP of design at Henrybuilt, Julianna Morais to create an instrument for cooking that is open and inviting. We teamed with the client to change the walls and organize the space in the bathroom making it ready for two to enjoy at the client’s request. And Jack Garrity of Sterling and Six developed the bespoke double sink vanity. With light, space and rock and roll this instrument is ready to play in the key of life.
