Shirin Neshat Residence
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, we tried to create a space that
best reflected her 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 in the back provide light to be filtered
into the family room from the South and magnificently high arched windows in
the front illuminates 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 that reflects Shirin’s personal
style.
The minimal but functional kitchen, as
the social center of the home, is integral to the main space with plenty of
storage 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
incorporated within 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 guest bathroom, a
small master bathroom was created adjacent to the bedroom, with a secret vanity
concealed into the new closet, whereby maintaining a spacious bedroom.
