The New York City home of Apparatus founders Gabriel Hendifar and Jeremy Anderson feels very much like one of the company’s signature lighting designs. They share a strange kind of beauty, highly refined and seriously seductive.

Located on the top floor of an erstwhile industrial building in the Flatiron District, the loft speaks volumes about the Apparatus brand and the passions of its protagonists. Filled with prototypes, custom pieces, peculiar objets de vertu, and compelling architectural details, the residence strikes a delicate balance between the raw and the cooked. Their wanted to experiment with living in a semiformal way in a space that resists formality. 

Two primary architectural interventions set the tone for the experience. The first is a semi-freestanding wall that defines a generous entry vestibule off the elevator. Paneled in quarter-sawn oak on one side, the wall snakes into the heart of the loft, where it discreetly delineates individual areas—dining room, kitchen, master suite—within the open expanse.
