This New York loft apartment was turned into a modern home as part of a project by Brooklyn-based Architect, Alloy. The interior was designed by Rebecca Robertson of RR Interiors, a former magazine editor and design co-author of Collected: Living With The Things You Love.

The apartment is inside one of the last historic factory-to -residential loft conversions in Brooklyn’s Dumbo neighbourhood.
Two 100-year-old paint factory buildings - a 1891 Brick and Timber and a 1921 Daylight Factory - have been given a stylish and sympathetic treatment by Alloy’s architecture team, which preserved the buildings’ many historic elements.
These industrial, architectural features prompted Robertson's creative vision for a contemporary Brooklyn family’s loft.

The long desk for two was created in collaboration with Alloy and Braga Woodworks. It can be reassembled to make two desks that can be moved throughout the apartment.
