The Brodsky Residence is a duplex penthouse loft in the Historic Tribeca District that renovated an existing 5th floor apartment and built a 4000sf setback rooftop addition above.
To bring daylight down, two openings were sliced out of the existing roof structure to filter daylight and space from above. One opening is located above the kitchen and another larger opening incorporates the stair to the upper floor. The upper floor also brings the outside in. The main living space floats because of the two side openings. The concrete floor and skylights above give a cloud like quality to this space, which opens directly to the main outdoor terrace facing west. Adjacent to the living space, the master bedroom and bath open onto framed views of another landscaped outdoor terrace facing east.
