Apartments     

Loft by Archi-Tectonics in Soho

An unusual house built in New York. Architects have connected two old traditional buildings in the Soho area with a broken modern structure. The all-glass facade resembles a waterfall with its asymmetric planes falling down at different angles. The same principle is applied in the design of the apartments of this house. The materials of the interior are noteworthy - glass, metal and wooden walls made of brown-black recycled oak plywood, as strangely broken as the facade, similar to natural rocks. In order not to spoil the impression of natural naturalness, there is a minimum of furniture in the house, it is upholstered in natural leather, up to the surface of the coffee table.

The amount of decorations is also minimal - no paintings and collages on the walls, only a few stylized wooden sculptures. But in the apartment there is an abundance of light from huge slanted windows. Light gray ceilings are not burdened with chandeliers - all lighting is built-in. Built into the ceilings and invisible "smart" split system. The apartment has a minimum of doors - only in the kitchen, hygienic rooms and in the bedroom.

Huge transparent glass sliding doors do not interfere with wooden structures, but rather emphasize their unity in different rooms. Only the toilet door is made of frosted glass.
In the kitchen and bathroom, it seems that designers are forced to move away from wood to modern plastic and tile with displeasure, however, one wall remains wooden. The huge fireplace is enclosed in a solid wall of dark gray, almost black granite. For some reason, here the designers left the principle of broken surfaces, although in stone it would look natural. The impression of the fireplace area is spoiled by an unpretentious light brown coffee table and a plastic armchair of standard shape. But the huge chrome ashtray is original.
