The penthouse is located in a through-block SoHo building that has had several incarnations - the original structure, a 1870s tobacco factory, was replaced in 1929 by a steel-framed industrial parking garage which, in turn, was converted to residential use in 2004. In the conversion, a courtyard was carved out in the middle of the structure to meet residential light and air requirements, and rooftop pavilions opening onto large terraces were added to the two penthouse units.

Our project was designed to open up the main level along the street façade and to fully integrate it with the rooftop pavilion and terrace. To accomplish this, we re-created a two-story void where the old garage car lift used to be, and inserted a dramatic skylit stair into this void. Ancillary public spaces are set off the main living room. Private spaces, organized along their own, secondary circulation, are grouped around the central courtyard. The rooftop pavilion contains a music room / lounge and a bar that opens onto a roof garden. (Gates Merkulova)
