Tribeca Lofts
Uniquely Repurposed Lofts
Agencie converted two 6-story industrial loft buildings into a single pristinely preserved residential property. The captivating property, dates back to 1890s, and is nestled on a cobblestone street in Tribeca. The historic cast-iron and heavy timber structure was extensively refurbished and re-modelled. Agencie’s retained the unique loft characteristics in the design of wide-open spaces and lofty-ceilings.
New connections and volumes were created within the existing building by removing walls and floors. The entire roof structure was pulled off and replaced to increase the heights of the Penthouse, requiring reinforcement of existing walls and heavy timber columns. The existing side wing was extended and rebuilt with a replica new facade, constructed in brick but held in a stainless steel frame. The gap between the brick and structurally glazed window to allow light to flood in.
The new elements of floating planes and framed views nestle into the historic industrial elements. The wooden columns, exposed brick and cast-iron moldings add warmth to the unique New York City space.
