Lofts have long been an integral part of the architectural identity of New York City, which are developing from industrial places in some of the most demanded houses in the city. Originally manufactured as warehouses and manufacturing hubs at the late 19th and 20th centuries, these wide places include growing roofs, exposed brick walls, and large windows designed for floods with natural light. By the middle of the 20th century, as the industry went out of Manhattan, artists and creatives began to recover these buildings, turning them into raw, flexible and working places. Today, LOFT represents a natural mixture of historical character and contemporary design, offering an ideal canvas for innovative changes. Such a change has recently been brought into life deeply concernedDesign studio led by Noam Dvir and Daniel Rouchwaragar. Worked to re -establish 1,000 square feet Tribes In a building in New York City, the pair set it to honor the industrial heritage of the scaffolding by infecting it with modern, bright aesthetics.
Like many historical lofts, this special place had been untouched to a large extent since the 1980s, a complete overhaul to meet the demands of contemporary life. While many scaffolding renewal removes the risk -removing elements, which define their attraction, Bond’s approach was one of the careful protection and growth. The team renovated a wide, replacing the old wires, removed the roof panels, and integrated a central air conditioning system – an essential upgrade for comfort without compromising the integrity of the space.
A major aspect of redesign was opening the vision to create a sense of liquidity and connection. The natural light is allowed to allow the entire scaffolding, maintaining the feeling of separation from the beginning of a glass division between the bedroom and the living area. This technique, which is often used in contemporary scaffold conversions, enhances airy, expander feel that makes these places so desirable.
One of the defined characteristics of New York City scaffolding is the emphasis on communal places – areas where people can gather, work and attach. Realizing this, Bond focused a strong focus on the kitchen as the heart of the house. A striking 15-foot tall island, designed with waterfall edges and a unique cut-in extension, serves as both a functional scope and a focal point. Line with walnut tractor BassamfelloThe island encourages social interaction, echoing the history of scaffolding as a place for creativity and connection.
The beauty of a historical scaffolding lies in its ability to develop over time while maintaining its original character. Keeping this philosophy in mind, Bond curated a place which is once minimal and warm, using carefully chosen design elements to create balance. The subtle of the bathroom color yet introduces the playful platform, otherwise add an unexpected contrast to the neutral palette. Gold and brown shades have echoed the natural light that filters the west -side windows in the main living space. Sculptural furniture pieces, such as a statement metal coffee table, move forward beauty by maintaining a sense of liquidity.
The scaffolding also serves as a background for the individual art collection of owners, including geometric functions by Mika Tajima and eccentric pieces by John Armolder. This integration of art in everyday life shows the legacy of early artists of the city which once doubled both as homes and creative studios.
