Done and Done...Union Square Loft

This project in Manhattan is an excellent example of how concrete can be mixed with other materials and unique elements to create an inviting space. 


Those elements include reclaimed teak cabinets, a vintage chalkboard backsplash, blackened steel panels, and a repurposed industrial dust collector (used as an exhaust hood).



The 1.5" thick, precast countertop has an eased edge and a simple drainboard (fancy formwork on a small scale).


The bathroom has precast countertops as well as a bath surround.



A complete list of resources and a nice write up on this project can be found in Architectural Record
