Renovated Light-Bathed Lofts

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This New York Loft's Walls Were Bashed Down to Make It Better Lit

— August 25, 2016 — Art & Design
Photographer's Loft is an innovatively designed New York loft that makes use of a massively over-sized skylight to bring in copious amounts of light.

Located in the Chelsea area of New York and designed by the Yoshihara McKee architecture firm, this apartment was previously devoid of light due to the fact that it featured a number of walls on the inside. However, the apartment has now been renovated and re-imagined, with the designers getting rid of the tall internal walls and installing a zig-zag partition instead, which allows for more light to enter through the skylight and permeate the interior.

This New York loft speaks to the importance of intelligent architectural renovations in revitalizing dwellings, specifically in the urban context where space is at a premium.





Trend Themes
1. Intelligent Architectural Renovations - Opportunity for architects and designers to transform spaces through innovative renovations that maximize natural light and optimize functionality.
2. Urban Space Optimization - Growing trend of re-imagining living spaces in urban areas to create more open and well-lit environments that enhance quality of life.
3. Skylight Innovation - Innovative use of oversized skylights to bring in copious amounts of natural light, transforming the ambiance and aesthetic of living spaces.
Industry Implications

2. Interior Design - Interior designers can explore new ways to create open, well-lit living spaces that prioritize natural light and enhance the overall ambiance.
3. Real Estate Development - Real estate developers can focus on revitalizing urban dwellings by implementing intelligent architectural renovations that transform spaces into light-filled, desirable homes.
