Located in a former industrial textile loft from the 19th Century, a series of moveable glass panels provides privacy for the master bedroom from the sitting/media room while allowing natural light to enter deep into the space.
The design of this 2,000 square foot loft in Greenwich Village for a couple in media and advertising business required a flexible condition that could accommodate the owners’ four teenage children when home from college and also retain the couple’s privacy. Located in a former industrial textile loft from the 19th Century, a series of moveable glass panels provides privacy for the master bedroom from the sitting/media room while allowing natural light to enter deep into the space. When not required, the panels slide away to create an expanded master suite. A sleeping loft was inserted above the closets and master bathroom to act as the visiting children’s dormitory. The black kitchen surround was inserted into the existing brick and tin-ceilinged envelope creating a focus for the public living area.
