The downtown loft character here is achieved by fusing functionality with an eclectic style and industrial influence. Intentionally exposed structural beams emphasise a loft in Tribeca and herringbone wood hints at what the building’s original flooring may have been.
The existing building afforded extra ceiling height and thus was maximised in several ways; creating a mezzanine level, kids “den” and floor to ceiling storages, including a sliding ladder.
An eclectic mix of furniture reveals the personality and interests of the user; a lover of music, art and collector of retro pieces. The immediate feeling is spacious, welcoming and sociable with the addition of natural light flooding in. The casual, dining area sits suitably within the most intimate corner of the home, with its lowered ceiling, exposed support beams and retro style globe lighting.
Continuing the theme of Verve Suites and its play on camouflage, the typical door frame has been redesigned using a full height, floor hinged door between the Living room and Master Bedroom.
The entire space is designed to be inclusive and all activities can take place simultaneously. It serves as an entertainment space for the whole family.
