Park Avenue Loft

Located in a historic former Gimbel department store—repurposed into a multi-family residence in 1989—this compact loft benefits from extra-high ceilings. The building has a second-level main lobby reached via a grand staircase, another remnant of the previous use. The interior comprises a kitchenette, bathroom, and a versatile main room, cleverly divided by custom millwork to create distinct zones for work, sleep, and relaxation. A large shelving media unit doubles as a closet, while vertical-patterned boiserie, built-in closets, and window seating maintain a sleek, minimalist aesthetic. Since the studio faces north, mirrored window trims amplify natural light and visually blur the boundary between the indoor space and the exterior, resulting in a bright, contemporary retreat that honors its historic setting.
