Residential use introduced a new human scale that had to merge with the rhythm of the 19th century garment factory, using a re-imagined door and pivoting glass transom system reminiscent of the original office partitions. Sunlight did not reach the middle of this huge loft: spaces that needed to be located at the floor’s periphery were made translucent using raw steel and natural glass doors and cabinets to activate the center space.
