Known for decades as the heart of the textile industry, the Tribeca neighbourhood in Lower Manhattan has experienced a contemporary revival — now hosting luxury high rises, outdoor green spaces and renowned restaurants, alongside the old warehouses and industrial buildings that have been transformed into private residences. Envisioned by Michael House Architecture, with interiors by Jae Joo Designs, this brutalist-inspired apartment is a part of this renaissance.
Spread across three levels with three private terraces — an absolute gem in New York City — the project for this modern home kicked off four years ago, when the homeowners, a couple with two daughters, reached out to Jae Joo, asking her to renovate the triplex into, "a space for creating lasting memories and accommodating the various chapters of their family’s growth," remembers the interior designer.
