This 12th street loft building, known as University Mews, is in the heart of Greenwich Village. When the property opposite became vacant, the owner decided to merge the two flats. Built in 1900 as a shirt factory, the structure has lovely vaulted ceilings that were fully expressed in the renovation. The challenging plan was tackled by a zoning program across the plan with baths and the kitchen in a central core and the living spaces layered toward the natural light.

The interior is a thoughtful meeting place of mid-century style and a century-old, one-hundred-by-fourteen foot structure. For the loft to feel larger and wider, furnishings have been carefully considered. The living space shows a close client-designer partnership in the curation of objects, with an eclectic mix of antique and contemporary pieces.
