This 20-unit renovation project sought to continue the spirit of communal loft living while imbuing an aesthetic of clean lines, elegant proportions, dramatic lighting, and contemporary finishes. With generous dimensions, massive windows, and 13-foot ceilings, the renovated units feature as many as four bedrooms, utilizing glass transoms to maintain a balance of natural light and privacy. The common areas and corridors were upgraded in close coordination with the building’s branding consultants to provide a unified color palette and typographical language. In addition to painted super-graphics and signage upgrades, three previously neglected spaces were converted into amenity areas. A former loading dock was converted into a lobby with a glass curtain wall, optical tile, a bleacher stair, and retro-style seating. A covered open-air summer cabana was constructed on the roof. Finally, an underutilized basement was upgraded into a coworking space.
