The historic warehouse contains loft rental units as well as 35,000sf of shared amenity spaces. To create well-lit habitable lofts from the huge floorplate, the existing central courtyard was enlarged significantly and sculpted into a central garden landscape. We designed all the interior public amenity spaces—this includes the lobby, lounges, rental office, library, gym, children’s room, corridors, and elevator lobbies.
Thus, in a single view, one simultaneously experiences the pre-existing industrial factory view juxtaposed with the renovated space. This comfort with the industrial roots of the site signals a supreme confidence and pride in the authentic Long Island City heritage and history of the building.
