曼哈顿的公寓可能有各种各样的魔力，但仍有一些房地产独角兽仍然难以获得。带有大量户外空间的经典 Tribeca Penthouse肯定是其中之一。尽管如此，这种安排还是引起了企业家Ellen和Michael Diamant的兴趣。这对夫妇最近把他们大获成功的婴儿用品公司Skip Hop卖给了Carters，由于他们的孩子Spencer即将上大学，所以他们正在寻找新的东西。现在是时候找一套能直接表达他们现在想要的生活方式的公寓了——既性感又舒适，既有典型的纽约风格，又能交通。

Manhattan apartments can be all sorts of magic, yet there are some real estate unicorns that are still hard to come by. A classic Tribeca loft with tons of outdoor space would definitely be one of them. Elusive nonetheless, it was that sort of setup that intrigued entrepreneurs Ellen and Michael Diamant. The couple, who had recently sold their wildly successful better-baby-goods company, Skip Hop, to Carters and whose child, Spencer, was heading off to college, were on the hunt for something new. It was time to find an apartment that spoke directly to how they wanted to live their lives now—something sexy yet cozy, something quintessentially New York City but at the same time transportive.

他们想要那种阁楼的感觉，把生活从小房间变成娱乐空间。他们一直在找啊找啊找，要么是发现新的开发项目，所有的东西都已经为你选择好了，要么在这些巨大的地方，您必须从头开始并敲定。这对夫妇选择了后者，在Tribeca的一栋建筑的顶层买了一套顶层公寓，这栋建筑在20世纪20年代曾是Philadelphia奶油奶酪冷库。这栋楼是上世纪90年代开发的，但之前的房主一直没能把阁楼修好。

They were looking and looking and looking,they found that there were either new developments where everything had been chosen for you or these huge places where you’d have to start from scratch and knock down to the studs.

The couple opted for the latter, buying a penthouse structure at the top of a Tribeca building that had been the Philadelphia Cream Cheese cold storage warehouse back in the 1920s. The building had been developed in the ’90s, but the previous owners never got to fixing up the loft.

这对夫妇招募了一个由梦想家和实干家组成的团队来设计、建造和装饰他们的空中海滨公寓。Baird建筑事务所的设计理念是旧与新的融合:在拥抱历史的同时实现楼下的现代化，楼上的概念是超现代的室内外结合。一栋带有现代公寓的老式阁楼建筑。

The couple enlisted a team of dreamers and doers to design, build, and decorate their beach-house apartment in the sky.  Baird Architects and were sold on the whole feeling of old meets new: modernizing the downstairs level while embracing the history, And then upstairs the concept would be a super-contemporary indoor-outdoor. An old loft building with a modern apartment.
