The Fire House

December, 2024

I designed this two-level firehouse at 159 East 87th Street in New York City as a vibrant live-work space for visiting artists. Inspired by Andy Warhol’s first studio, also in a firehouse, the project blends historic charm with modern functionality.

The first floor includes a studio, gallery, café, and workspace, while the second floor features a private apartment. A bold yellow block anchors the design, adding visual interest and defining spaces without sacrificing light. With ADA-compliant features and adaptable layouts, the firehouse is both inspiring and accessible.
