When Cabin Edit approached MSA about its Soho loft editing space, privacy was a top concern. With a client roster that includes some of the nation’s most prolific artists and the nature of the work itself, enclosed work areas were critical. This need was balanced with a desire for natural light and communal open lounge areas.
To accomplish these tasks, each edit bay was laid out on the floor perimeter to allow either a skylight or a window. The bays encircled the common area in the middle of the loft. To bring light into these communal spaces, we enclosed the edit bays with fritted glass to achieve both transparency for light and work confidentiality.
