House Interior of LOFT IN CHELSEA by Obra Architects. The renovation of a 1900 square foot loft on West 17th Street in Manhattan proposes a redistribution of functional spaces defined by plastic walls.

In this residence for a young urban couple, rooms are separated not by planes but by inhabitable volumes, where the spatial pressures of living find balance to de-form surfaces and create niches of privacy and intimacy within.

The basic distribution has been improved by introducing two new rooms to replace the existing guestroom formerly located between living room and master bedroom. At the east end of the apartment, a new study helps to define an entry vestibule providing added privacy and a sense of anticipation to the moment of arrival.

The study, which will be used as a film editing office, connects to the living room through a narrow door between two of the oversized windows that bring natural light into the apartment.

This organization provides the main living space with visually elongated depth and a sense of mystery, via the light-filled volume of a space “beyond” which can be glimpsed partially through the opening. Activity in the study can be detected by shadows which flicker as they are projected on an etched glass surface, backlit and glowing.
