Project
Description:
The
Q Loft project was a complete gut renovation of a loft for Joe Quesada, Editor-in-Chief
of Marvel Comics in New York, and his family. Located in a former industrial
building in New York’s Chelsea neighborhood, the Q-Loft occupies an entire
floor with full-window exposures and classic urban views. Due to the depth of
the extremely large floor plate, a strategy of placing “volumes-of-program” was
employed. This was achieved by demarcating various private zones-of-use with
cabinets to accommodate storage, allowing the “loft-ness” to flow around each
cabinet and through each zone. The resultant is an interweaving Z-shaped public
void.
The
public zone consists not only of areas for kitchen, dining, and living, but
also areas for display, collections and musical entertainment. These
zones-of-use remain open, marked by furniture placement and lighting fixtures
above. Natural light permeates the space and is shared by the use of clear
frosted glass, and polycarbonate, creating a series of layered transparencies.
The
master bedroom is situated in the back of the space with a stunning view, directly
on axis with the Empire State Building. The master closet and bathroom are
separated from the public zone by a 25-foot long floor-to-ceiling frosted glass
pane. The guest bedroom, child’s room and playroom are located on the front
street side of the loft united and separated by cabinets and frosted glass
doors. All of these private spaces are provided with overhead windows that
bring natural light into the interior of the floor plate. In between these
private zones are the semi-private home theater, the entry, the powder room,
and the artist’s studio.
To
accommodate Mr. Quesada’s large collection of comic artifacts, a large number
of built-ins are included in the studio and on the back of the theater for the
display. The shelves on the theater are acrylic and have been setup to be lit
internally. The large object void of the theater also allows the Quesada’s to
enjoy the flexibility of easily dissolving the theater in and out of the public
space by simply opening or closing the large sliding glass doors.
