New York, NY
17,500 square feet
2004
Type: Offices / Adaptive Reuse
Theme: Opening to Light
Hired by a prominent photographic post-production studio, we developed a center for a growing business and brand. We started with a derelict and unoccupied three-story warehouse located in the Meatpacking District before that neighborhood was chic. In an extensive renovation of the building, we organized each floor around a central hall defined by a vertical hole we cut through the building.
In New York, you never know what’s behind a brick wall. We designed this creative hive of spaces, many light-filled and some dark, and hid them behind an orderly grid of windows. It was fascinating to position the facade right at the threshold of visibility.
