Maximizing every inch
A loft uniquely tailored to our client’s rituals

For this compact loft design in a historic former department store in NYC, our challenge was to create maximum function in a single room. We leveraged the apartment’s extra-high ceilings, designing custom millwork that cleverly divides the studio into distinct zones for work, sleep, and relaxation. Smart, multi-functional pieces—like a large media unit that doubles as a closet and sleek, built-in window seating—provide ample storage while maintaining a minimalist aesthetic. To solve the challenge of a north-facing window, we used mirrored trims to amplify natural light, making the entire space feel brighter and more open. The result is a bright, contemporary, and highly functional retreat that honors the building’s historic character.

The bed and desk unite into a single, multi-functional architectural element, while the kitchenette is separated by a retractable reeded glass steel storefront, maximizing both space and aesthetics.
A custom, extra-tall shelving unit introduces a bold architectural furnishing element with a tripartite design. It features a 45-degree angled base, a middle section of solid drawers, and an upper portion combining open shelves, a closet, and a concealed TV. The vertical divisions align seamlessly with the boiserie’s striation behind, creating a cohesive and visually dynamic composition.
