""We see it as an opportunity for us and the client to create a magazine that represents their taste, something that we can work with to provide a context and set of cues for all the decisions we make," explains interior designer Hyman, who, together with architect Herrero, started the New York City- and Los Angeles-based AD100 studio, Charlap Hyman & Herrero, in 2014."
"At the image meeting for this loft, which sits on the top floor of an eleven-story prewar cast iron building in Greenwich Village, "we went through several hundred images of interiors, film stills, all manner of tear sheets," Hyman continues, "and we identified all these things that the client liked and tried to understand his taste and where that overlapped within the framework of approaching a loft.""
"The former, Hyman says, were "very Pompidou, embracing the pipes and the ducts," and often included discrete geometric volumes placed in the middle of a space to create privacy. The latter, meanwhile, might feature "a beautiful terrazzo floor and a burlap wall covering with a gilt 18th-century mirror on it." And that juxtaposition, Hyman concludes, felt like "a really fun and a really exciting fresh combination for us.""
Adam Charlap Hyman and Andre Herrero led a renovation of a top-floor Greenwich Village loft for a young venture capitalist client. They began with a reference image meeting, reviewing several hundred images, film stills and tear sheets to identify the client's taste and guide decisions. The designers blended 1980s high‑tech loft aesthetics that embrace exposed pipes and ducts with the refinement of 1950s–60s Italian modernist apartments. Design strategies included discrete geometric volumes for privacy, terrazzo floors, burlap wall coverings and gilt mirrors. The juxtaposition of industrial services and elegant modernist details produced a fresh, sophisticated loft composition.
