Greenwich Village Loft

Formerly a parking garage, this building was converted to loft apartments providing the occupants with large spaces, high ceilings, and expansive windows. The owners, although confirmed modernists, found the basic sheetrock space lacking in warmth and character.

Our approach here is to enrich the rooms with sumptuous natural materials such as wood, leather and stone. The floor throughout the living room, dining room and kitchen is made of large squares of German limestone. Playing against the sleek coolness of the stone, the living room wainscoting and fireplace wall are American cherry. The sofa and sofa table are custom designs by Wagner Van Dam finished in neutral mohair and American white oak respectively.

The overall effect is one of quiet opulence and calm. The light filled rooms provide these owners with their own urban oasis.
