Lofts in the Union Square area of Manhattan are rare to come by. Prized for their location and often historic in nature, these idiosyncratic pieces of property hark back to classic New York City imagery. When the Brooklyn-based architecture firm Worrell Yeung was tasked with renovating one such 3,000 sq ft property, it seized the chance to reinvigorate the New York apartment space with character, after the previous owners had stripped most of the space’s original detail.
Those needs were more specific than most, given that one of the home’s owners is a concert violinist. Throughout the residence, spaces transition from calming refuges to more lively gathering places where impromptu recitals could be held. ‘The loft was designed around working from home well before the pandemic made that a necessity. Openness and continuity of spaces is the baseline with the flexibility to cordon off discretewith some level of acoustic privacy using sliding panels at the scale and height of the loft,’ notes the firm’s co-founder Jejon Yeung.
