The firm's dramatic conversion of a light manufacturing warehouse to a work/live artist studio juxtaposes the building's gritty, industrial exterior with warm, light-filled interior spaces.

Zen Tribeca Loft Complete With Neon Signs and Beatles-Inspired Bed Can Be Yours for $10.5M

By Rebecca Paul

Tribeca is filled with well-designed lofts, but this space boasts a symmetrical zen-like elegance that is definitely worth checking out. The one-bedroom unit is located at 158 Franklin Street on one of the neighborhood's most desirable cobblestone blocks and is currently listed for $10.5 million. The interior space features low furnishings and eastern-inspired details–most notably a bed inset into the floor, reminiscent of the Beatles' bed in their famous movie, "Help" (we can't be the only ones who've dreamed of having that bed). The loft recently underwent a complete renovation, and we like what we're seeing.

Architect Steven Harris Builds a Floating Staircase to Heaven in This Tribeca Loft Renovation

By Rebecca Paul

Made possible by handiwork from the firm Steven Harris Architects, the design and luxury of this Tribeca loft renovation are magnificent. The entirety of the project included the renovation of a huge penthouse located in a converted 1930s office building into a dream home for one family with three teenagers and no budget constraints. What emerged was this multi-level unit that occupies the 27th and 28th floors with nearly 8,000 square feet of living space. The property features a self-contained guest house, a new glass and teak beam rooftop (which also doubles as a recreation room), and fabulous views of Manhattan and Brooklyn. However, within all of this architectural glory our favorite detail is the elegant floating staircase that climbs up the living room wall and almost into the clouds.

Fabrica 718’s Renovation of Soho Loft in Former Department Store is Highly Fashionable

By Stephanie Hoina

Firehouses, stables, factories – even churches – have long offered designers the opportunity to carve out unique living spaces from non-traditional structures. So it should come as no surprise that in a city as fashion conscious as New York, even department stores are fair game for residential conversion. When this co-op building in Soho was subdivided into loft apartments, each inherited some awkward and quirky features courtesy of its former life, but that didn’t stop Brooklyn-based designer Fabrica 718 from turning one of the apartments within into a different kind of showcase.
