Jay Street Residence - A.M.A Architecture, Tribeca, NY

The Jay Street Residence, designed by A.M.A Architecture and Interior Design, presents an exquisite penthouse apartment situated atop a repurposed peanut factory in the heart of Tribeca, NY. This remarkable residence encompasses approximately 2,500 square feet of interior space, complemented by an inviting 700 square foot outdoor terrace. Emphasizing a unique blend of contemporary design and historical context, the project redefines urban living in one of New York City's most vibrant neighborhoods.

At the core of the project's vision was the client's desire for a specific ambiance, prioritizing a feeling of serenity and relaxation over rigid programmatic demands. The design aims to evoke a harmonious environment that seamlessly integrates the urban lifestyle with the tranquility of home. This thoughtful approach resulted in a layout that accommodates three bedrooms and two bathrooms while featuring a spacious living room and kitchen designed for entertaining, all set against the backdrop of the stunning Tribeca skyline.

A.M.A Architecture and Interior Design took great care to showcase the building's original architectural elements, such as the character-rich wooden beams and exposed brick walls. These historical features were artfully juxtaposed with modern components, creating a dialogue between the old and new. The carefully curated material palette includes light and medium wood tones for flooring and millwork, contrasting shades of white for the walls and ceramic tiles, and grey accents for terrace pavers. The kitchen island and outdoor privacy screens employ a striking black matte phenolic/cellulose compound, enhancing the contemporary aesthetic.

To foster an open atmosphere, the design minimizes the use of interior partitions, allowing daylight and fresh air to flow freely throughout the living spaces. The centerpiece of the penthouse is a striking white box that rises above the building's roofline, framing breathtaking views of lower Manhattan's iconic skyline. This top floor culminates in a bi-level terrace, featuring floating benches and platforms for relaxation, as well as a steel pergola that provides shade and adds a playful architectural dimension to the exterior space.

The Jay Street Residence exemplifies the innovative spirit of A.M.A Architecture and Interior Design, harmoniously merging modern luxury with the historical essence of its surroundings. The project not only honors the past of the former peanut factory but also creates a refined living experience that resonates with the urban sophistication of Tribeca. This penthouse serves as a tranquil oasis, combining elegance and comfort in a vibrant city, making it a truly remarkable place to call home.
