The project began as a 100 year old urban shell space in a building originally occupied by the area's first black theatre. the specific floor was previously occupied by a worker's club, in other words, a "speak easy".

The transformation started with the development and subdivision of the entire penthouse floor into four individual residential condominium units, each unique in character, design and layout. The program of this specific loft unit was simple yet highly intricate in its creative use of materials, lighting and finishing techniques.

The client for this particular space, a young attorney, desired a sophisticated loft that contained refined materials with an attention to detail. A white palette was chosen for the perimeter of the space while a subtle whitewashed bamboo flooring was chosen to blend the contrasting dark wenge wood which was chosen for the kitchen's cabinets and soffits. The existing brick was framed and retained along with the large expansive windows taking advantage of the building's construction and access to light with the limited exposed edges.
