Brooklyn Heights Loft

Brooklyn Heights Loft

Brooklyn, NY

The existing loft was a wide open empty loft space in a former manufacturing building on busy Atlantic Ave.  The goal was to create a 2-bedroom 2-bathroom apartment that maintained a unique New York loft feeling, embraced the industrial history of the building, while also bring a sense of warmth and homeliness to the material palette.  

The main living/dining area is open to the kitchen, a mix of high-low materials; polished stone combined with stainless steel, modular cabinets adapted for a custom millwork feel, and a mix of metals. An eclectic custom-designed shelf anchors one wall of the dining area, a 15-foot long swooping and organic green ribbon that flattens out to do double-duty as a sideboard. The main bathroom is a celebration of stone, both in slab and mosaic tile forms.  The guest bathroom is a moody mix of jet black tiles and brass fixtures.  

Remnant stone from the kitchen and bathroom clads a step up to the bedroom area, signifying the importance of the raised floor zone in bringing utilities from a spot location to the rest of the apartment, allowing for the centrally located kitchen. 

Bespoke elements across the loft speak to the custom nature and attention to detail combining hand-craft with fabrication technology. The swooping green shelf was custom designed with a millworker in 1” widths of CNC-milled wood; while the stainless steel kitchen counter, backsplash  and shelf were laser-cut from plates of steel, having designed the precise locations of outlets, cutouts, lights and joints.
