Built in 1920, the loft sits on roughly 3,400 square feet in a five-story cast-iron and brick building. The three bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms enjoy plenty of natural light from three exposures.“I had to remove three layers of subflooring in order to get down to the rafters and then level the floor—and the same thing for the ceiling,” explains Gold. “We found beams [in the ceiling] that I left exposed over the main living space, which really open up the room, and the existing cast-iron beams and older wooden ship beams both add to the character.“With the help of interior designer Samuel Amoia, Gold was able to put his family’s modernist aesthetic on display. “I have to say, when I come home at the end of every day, what I’ve created has exceeded my expectations,” he said.
