Village Loft

The owners of this West Village loft each had several children from earlier marriages. Some weekends they would be alone and at other times four kids would descend. The central area of the loft was dedicated to the children’s space. Through the use of sliding cherry panels, this bunkroom could sleep and provide privacy for one or four. The room, with a mix of solid and translucent walls, allowed light in while containing the clutter. The perimeter of the loft was repainted and the floors were bleached. New kitchen and baths, with modern style, gave the entire loft a contemporary sleekness.
