The apartment occupies one of five units in a quiet six-story Tribeca red brick building that was originally a candy factory from the 1880s. The interior features 18-foot ceilings, original timber beams, an open plan, and a large skylight, creating a dramatic industrial-loft scale. The renovation took two years and involved a full gut transformation to reimagine the space while keeping key original elements such as brick, beams, and the open layout. Softness, warmth, and visual rhythm were introduced so the apartment remained grand yet became cozy, layered, and comfortable for everyday living.
"Set in a classic Tribeca red brick building, once a candy factory from the 1880s, the apartment is one of five in a quiet six-story structure. With 18-foot ceilings, original timber beams, and a large skylight, the space is full of charm and character. Initially, the space felt more like an industrial loft than a home - beautiful in scale, but a little intimidating."
"Over the course of two years, MA Studio worked on a full gut renovation of the space to reimagine it without compromising its character. The duo wanted to respect the apartment's original bones - the brick, the beams, the open plan - but also introduce softness, warmth, and rhythm."
"It was important that the space didn't lose its grandeur, but also felt cozy, liveable, and layered."
