Pulltab Design has created a series of renovations to a loft space atop an existing roof. Click HERE for more pics & info...
Designed as a space for both reading and entertaining, the East Village Penthouse is part of a larger private residence located on the top floor of an early 1900's Manhattan walkup.
In creating the indoor/outdoor space, a palette of materials (teak, bronze, zinc and Cor-ten steel) was selected allowing the design to season, through cycles of weathering.
For durability, the solid teak windows, doors and columns were assembled using traditional joinery details, inspired by the techniques of wooden boat building.
Inside the space, a series of three teak cruciform columns carry part of the roof load. These columns are constructed with dado joints and mechanically fastened with silicon bronze screws.
