A NYC Warehouse Becomes a Penthouse Loft

Turett Collaborative Architects took this former Greenwich Street warehouse and created a modern penthouse loft while maintaining parts of its historic past. The massive, light-filled space had been a bare, open loft that was used as a painter’s studio with only a bathroom and a kitchenette. With exposed brick walls and ceilings joists, the raw space allowed TCA to consciously break it up into smaller, designated spaces.

The south end of the loft features a glass and steel wall which lets the light continue throughout the interior, while also separating the master bedroom wing. A sliding panel on the bedroom side can close when the homeowners want privacy. There are also curtains on both sides for additional privacy.
