This project involved the conversion of a seven-story, 1910 manufacturing building in Manhattan’s Flatiron District into residential use. The renovation included extensive exterior restoration, new building systems, a redesigned residential lobby, and the creation of five floors of loft apartments, including a duplex.
The duplex was designed around a central circulation space connecting the light-filled, two-story living room to the private bedroom areas. A series of bridges, a two-story custom shelving wall, and sliding lacewood panels create visual interest while defining the relationship between the circulation and living spaces. Rich Brazilian cherry floors, green Venetian plaster walls, stainless steel finishes, and exposed structural elements give the apartment a warm, contemporary urban character.
