clinton Street : Loft

All work done in-house under licensed supervision at Lyon-Szot Architecture DPC

Project Location: Clinton Street, Brooklyn, New York

Project Scope: Interior renovation of a loft apartment.

Individual Responsibility: Junior Designer / draftsman from Schematic Design through the beginning of Construction Administration.

Design Challenges:

  • The existing loft stair had clearance problems and needed to be relocated to allow comfortable passage. However, the available space was too small for a full stair to be added.

  • The owner was hoping to add an additional powder room to the existing loft without it feeling “too dark”.

Design Solutions:

  • The stair was relocated and integrated into the redesigned kitchen. This allowed for an open living room and additional storage for the kitchen.

  • A new powder room was designed to allow natural light in through a new transom window which was under an existing skylight.
