Tribeca Loft
Manhattan, New York, NY, United States
This renovation reshapes a 19th century factory space by focusing on the experience of light, water, and vistas of the Hudson River using materials that complement, recall, and interpret the landscape immediately outside the residence.
The design reorganizes the loft into open living areas by simplifying the plan, re-proportioning the functional requirements, and maximizing natural light. New large windows in the west wall are detailed with a clean edged, frame that acts as a light scoop, emphasizing the ever-changing, panoramic views. The blue-grey paneled wall, through its size and texture, communicates an abstract view of the river: its color and glaze provide muted reflections. The bedroom’s river view is enhanced with a window seat.
A subdued color and limited material palette were selected to reinforce connections to the exterior. Etched glass doors extend and reflect the dynamic outdoor light. Custom wood cabinetry with recycled quartz countertops defines the interior landscape. The exposed timber columns and beam are whitewashed to underscore their rough hewn, tree-like quality. They are a datum and relic of the loft’s origins.
