29th Street Loft
New York, NY
2003-2004
On 29th Street in Manhattan’s Flower District is a light fabrication building sandwiched between two much taller buildings. The top floor was stripped of all previous renovations leaving only the original pine floor.
The long, thin proportion of the space limited window exposure at the far ends requiring an unconventional solution. Two skylights were added and lined with wood to warm the reflected blue light. In this way, a space with largely borrowed light is reinvented.
