SoHo Cast-Iron Loft — style reimagining

Style

SoHo Cast-Iron Loft

Inspired by Roman & Williams, Apparatus Studio, Joe D'Urso· no affiliation

Tribeca / SoHo cast-iron loft — exposed columns, factory windows, raw plaster.

• Original cast-iron columns exposed and celebrated — painted matte black or left raw.
• Steel-sash factory windows restored — multi-pane, dark steel mullions, never replaced with vinyl.
• Original wide-plank pine or fir floors restored, oil-finished — never engineered hardwood.
• Raw plaster or limewash on walls; original brick exposed where structurally present, but restraint is key — not all four walls.

Scope

Major addition

Second story, major footprint expansion, ADU. The home grows.

Significant structural intervention: add a second story to a single-story home, grow the footprint by 30%+, add an attached or detached ADU. The original structure is the starting point but the result is meaningfully larger.

Typical cost

$700K–1.5M
