This Williamsburg loft was conceived and built as an exploration of Slow Design, guided by four principles: local materials, simplicity, economy, and personal investment.
Nearly all elements—aside from basic construction materials—were sourced within a three-mile radius and cost no more than a few hundred dollars. Shelving from the previous tenant was repurposed, scraps from nearby factories became furniture, and second-hand pieces were gathered from local streets, thrift stores, and classifieds.
Countless evenings and weekends were spent crafting the space by hand, creating a meaningful connection to both the home and New York City. The project stands as an invitation to look around, imagine, and make it yourself.
