LOFT

Tribeca, New York

This project in Tribeca, New York, is a two thousand square foot double-height space featuring a sixteen-foot black olive tree, striking bronze patina bookcase and a black oak-clad column that rise above the open-plan kitchen and living areas. The bronze patina bookcase and column were designed to accentuate the twenty-foot ceilings; drawing the eye upwards to appreciate the volume of the space.

The kitchen cabinetry was plastered in tadelakt to compliment the lime-washed walls, whilst the dark grey stone of the worktop grounds the twenty-foot column as it rises out of the island. The colour palette of the kitchen and living areas was selected to work in harmony with the red brick exterior of the building opposite. Filling the view from four large windows, it stands centre stage within the scheme.

The study houses a deep ochre velvet sofa that wraps around ochre-coloured fabric walls and showcases two chiselled India ink-stained maple masterpieces framed in walnut. 

The simplicity of the bedroom with its monochrome palette paves the way for the dramatic black four-poster bed. The floor-to-ceiling frame anchors the room and brings together wabi-sabi and minimalist design elements, accented by Japanese antiques.

With an understated elegance, simple sophistication and a gentle embrace of textures, shapes and materiality; this space whispers luxury with wood, stone, metal and plaster alongside objects and art that hold meaning and memory.

Through a marriage of raw and man-made materials that complement the architecture, this project is a curated work that encourages you to unwind in a sleek, stylish and serene space above the hustle and bustle of New York City life.
