Bathhouse Studios has a rich history, dating back to its establishment as a public bath house in downtown Manhattan in 1905. Originally designed to serve the burgeoning immigrant population of the lower East Side, the Free Public Bath House operated until its closure in 1958. Subsequently, in 1995, the building underwent a transformation by Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer Eddie Adams, converting it into a photography studio and residence.
Our recent project focused on elevating Bathhouse Studios to a state-of-the-art videography studio and
event space, complemented by a comprehensive renovation of the residence into a high-end apartment.
The scope of work included a range of enhancements, such as facade restoration, implementation of
studio-grade lighting control, creation of an independent entrance to the residence complete with an
elevator, and the redesign of key interior spaces, including the kitchen, bathrooms, outdoor kitchen, and the addition of a sauna.
This endeavor aimed not only to modernize the studio for contemporary videography needs, but also to
enhance the residential space to meet the highest standards of luxury and functionality. The combination of historical significance and the infusion of cutting-edge features positions Bathhouse Studios as a unique and versatile space, honoring its past while embracing the demands of the present and future.
