Tour a South Street Seaport Loft
Full of Texture and Color

Floors The owners bleached the hardwoods and painted the exposed brick white to create a sense of lightness in the space

Shelving The expansive built-ins help delineate the open loft into office, living room, dining, and kitchen

Kitchen Owner Marco Pansanella designed and built the industrial kitchen island with materials salvaged from the neighborhood

Making space Because the loft is one large open space, owner and interior designer Rebecca Robertson has created smaller nooks for living and dining

History The metal contraption is called a wench, and is part of a pulley system that was used under the building's original function as a ship chandlery

Fireplace The fireplace features Dutch tiles in a blue and white nautical theme

Drapes The ceiling-to-floor drapes feature a New Amsterdam toile pattern, a nod to the building's Dutch shipping origin

Office The home's office is nestled in the corner of the open loft
