This white-walled New York loft is home toA creative family who prefer live piano music to television Real lofts are born in industrial buildings with “live” brickwork, huge windows and external wiring. This is probably what the spouses Marco Pasanella and Rebecca Robertson thought when they moved with their two children to a factory building in northwest Brooklyn, New York.
And they also thought that it wasn't that easyto equip a family nest in a gloomy industrial building in the center of one of the largest megacities in the world. And although the owner herself is an interior designer, she called on the help of architects from the local design bureau Alloy, who managed to create a stylish space that completely satisfied the aspirations of four convinced urbanists.
It was decided to paint the walls white. This added light, a sense of purity and transparency, and most importantly, expanded the rather limited space.
The living room in this house is designedexclusively for communication and games. Therefore, a small area in the far corner was designated for the TV, and another blue screen (paired with a game console) lives in a separate room.
But for the piano they allocated a niche in the living room. Agree: a real musician needs an audience.
The apartment, as already mentioned, is not the bestspacious: the living room, kitchen and dining room are combined in one space. That is why the zoning techniques used are quite conventional: social areas are marked with rugs, the dining room is marked with a Custom 7-Globe Branching Bubble ceiling light by Lindsey Adelman, and the kitchen is separated by two wooden beams and a ceiling box.
