Our clients, a composer & a musician, required a conversion of their new penthouse. Primarily, they were concerned with making the small sleeping loft into a living & working area. We expanded the loft into a viable second floor, with bedroom, library, & studio. Many architectural elements, such as the iron railing & the built-in studio, we designed, made, & installed.

A partial view of the second floor from the first floor of the apartment. The bedroom is behind the library & leads onto the rooftop deck.

Our plans for the stairwell included recessed shelves to display the couple's pottery & art collection.

We designed & made the built-in studio, with an L-shaped desk big enough to accommodate two computers & numerous peripherals, including the composer's keyboard. Two large, spacious aluminum drawers fill one side. Electrical outlets are integrated into the frame of the desk. A shelf & Plexiglas-fronted cabinets fill the spaces above & below.

From the deck, an iron grill protects the window in the bedroom. Whimsical elements were suggested by the clients.
