At Home
Industrial minimalism in Chelsea
A former cigarette factory in Chelsea is converted to a family-friendly loft with the help of our friends at RARARA and D&A. Situated steps from the High Line, the home's signature design elements - exposed large oak beams, ornate metal capitals, and brick walls - evoke the warehouse buildings common to the area. To contrast the minimal features, the family's collection includes colorful and graphic works by Clay Mahn, John Platt, Dan Covert, Holly Addi, and Michael Moncibaiz. Scroll through for the full tour.
The great room presented an unexpected discovery after the team removed the dropped ceilings and unnecessary wall enclosures, revealing the original heavy timber structure – in surprisingly great condition. This move both simplified the layout while also paying homage to the building's historical fabric.
