Sculpted by Light

There's nowhere that says New York living quite like a loft – it's as New York as skyscrapers, Times Square and Central Park, and this stylish place in hip Tribeca is a classic example. All the typical elements are here – we're talking an open, spacious living space with high ceilings, towering columns, huge windows and wooden floors.

What sets this home apart from others, though, is its fabulous art collection and many pieces from luminary designers such as Gerrit Rietveld and Sori Yanagi, as well as light sculptures by Marrow Project. We could certainly tell on viewing that this apartment is owned by a creative director and designer. Select a bottle from the wine cooler, choose one of the books off the well-stocked shelves and relax in style.

You can really live like a local in this home's location as well. This Lower Manhattan neighbourhood is known for its cobblestone streets lined with fashionable boutiques and chic restaurants or soak up the atmosphere in nearby China Town. Oh, yes and if you're a film buff, you can get your fill with the Tribeca Film Festival, held here every June.




Home truths:
*This is a lived-in home, so expect for some of the host's personal belongings to be present.
*There's a sofa bed in the living area which can sleep an extra two guests.
*Like most lofts in Tribeca, the bathroom is outside of the bedroom.
*As seen in the photos, the home office takes up a large area of the living room.
*You won't find a manual or handbook for this home, but your host should be on hand if you have any issues.
