In this loft residence, the shell of the space is articulated by the exposure of its limed brick enclosure and sprinklers and overhead utilities. All added partitions are articulated in a white lacquer panel system by differentiating vocabularies of old and new. The modernist intervention of lacquered fixed and moveable panels amidst the exposed original wall spaces, makes clear what is old and what is new.
The palette of the Director’s Loft is inspired by the confutation of the materials utilized visible from its large scaled openings celebration of the symphony the surrounding city. This loft becomes another chorus singing the praises of “ I’ll take Manhattan”
