Black Ocean Firehouse NYC
This former firehouse in New York City built in 1895 has had a stunning renovation, with a conversion into officespaces by architect Rafael de Cárdenas and the leaseholder, media and tech company Black Ocean.
The design kept plenty of character from its history and the four storey building has many of its original windows and the intricate brickwork façade, although now painted a very cool black. The building also retained a fully-restored 1929 FDNY Emergency call box/fire alarm, and a section of the original fire pole.
Looking from the outside it may seem like its poky and dark inside, but far from it... the interior is open and light filled with crisp white walls and pops of neon colour in the artwork, as well as beautiful soft parquet timber or cool concrete flooring.
It also features my favourite style chevron window treatments, has a rooftop terrace, and a rear courtyard for some outdoor space.
Take a look at some of the before photos ....
The transformation of the façade looks beautiful don't you agree?
I'm constantly amazed at the creativity of some people and that they are able to put this into reality! I love it!
