Soho Penthouse Loft

Project Overview

This stunning SoHo penthouse loft underwent a comprehensive renovation to create a sophisticated urban sanctuary with panoramic city views. The project focused on maximizing the open floor plan while creating distinct living zones and incorporating high-end finishes throughout the space.

The Challenge

This ambitious renovation presented numerous complex challenges, with the vertical expansion being the most significant. Opening the rooftop for vertical expansion required extensive structural engineering and meticulous execution. The project demanded substantial structural steel work, including precise craning and hoisting of steel and construction materials in a dense urban environment with limited access. Installing new windows and skylights throughout the expanded space required careful coordination to maintain weather protection during the process. The outdoor roof fit-outs needed to balance aesthetic considerations with practical requirements for drainage, utilities, and safety. Implementing rigorous safety protocols was essential given the height and exposure, while maintaining temporary weatherproofing throughout construction ensured the protection of the existing structure and finishes.
