A new residential development – 11 Hoyt – in downtown Brooklyn, New York, intertwines industrial-inspired design codes with vast square footage for a comfortable and contemporary new living space. Manhattan-based real estate company Tishman Speyer has created 481 generously proportioned homes that offer both indoor and outdoor space for residents. Soho House designers, London and New York-based firm Michaelis Boyd, have drawn on the building’s modern form for the series of model residences, with their interior design encompassing tactile materials and gleaming metal accents.
‘We are thrilled to continue our longstanding collaboration with Tishman Speyer, and to have the opportunity to work alongside Studio Gang and Hollander Design on our first residential project in Brooklyn,’ says the director of Michaelis Boyd New York, Rina Kukaj. ‘Fusing luxury with a relaxed, industrial feel is a common thread in our interior projects – it gives a space an instant sense of place.
‘At 11 Hoyt, we used an eclectic mix of tactile materials to create timeless, refined residences that also reference the neighbourhood’s rich manufacturing history. The “Heritage” units feature warm tones, stained woods and dark metalwork, whilst the “Classic” [units] combine lighter neutrals with sophisticated stainless-steel fittings and pale oak for a fresh and refined feel.’
