62 Reade Street by ODA
62 Reade Street brings a measured calm to Tribeca, New York, NY, United States, where ODA reworks two landmarked buildings into a boutique condominium. The apartment project unites industrial loft character with Italianate limestone facades, turning a former clock factory into six expansive homes with tailored finishes. Each residence balances open living and quiet bedrooms, establishing a composed urban retreat above the street.
Light falls across white oak boards and catches the grain before moving toward brick, glass, and limestone framed windows. From the street, the joined facades rise with measured ornament, then step back to a new roofline where the merged building reads as one balanced form.
Within this condominium project in Tribeca, New York, ODA works inside two landmarked structures to shape six loft-style homes that favor material clarity and generous rooms. The architecture team restores the paired limestone fronts and then turns inward, using oak, off-whites, and exposed structure to recalibrate traditional loft living toward a softer, more crafted interior world.
Merging Two Histories
The former clock factory once operated across two neighboring buildings, each with its own character and level of ornament. ODA removes the internal dividing walls so the floorplates read as single, wide lofts, then adds a roof level that visually ties the pair while keeping their distinct limestone expressions intact. One elevation remains relatively spare, the other more embellished, and together they frame a lobby sequence that nods to the industrial past without replicating it.
Loft Plans With Quiet Edges
Four full-floor apartments, a two-bedroom maisonette, and a penthouse rely on open layouts that draw living, dining, and kitchen into one generous core. Bedrooms sit at the calmer edges, separated by fluted glass steel doors that slide or pivot to control privacy while keeping daylight in play. White oak flooring runs throughout, giving the long rooms a subtle rhythm, and exposed beams remind residents of the building’s industrial origin without overwhelming daily life.
An Airy Interior Palette
Inside each residence, an off-white and beige palette keeps surfaces quiet so texture does the work. Natural materials set the tone: oak underfoot, brick at select bedroom walls, and metal at door frames and beams. Open kitchens support entertaining, with lacquer-based cabinetry and high-end Liebherr appliances lining one side while a textured marble island grounds the center as the main social anchor. The mix feels calm yet tactile, with enough contrast between polished and rough elements to keep the rooms visually active.
Rooms For Daily Rituals
Bedrooms lean into warmth, using exposed brick surfaces to carry a sense of age into otherwise clean-lined rooms. Bathrooms turn quieter, with Graff fixtures and Italian porcelain tile giving a smooth, consistent finish around tubs, showers, and vanities. The penthouse extends everyday routines outdoors, where five private terraces pull light and air into the living level and shift daily life outward whenever weather allows.
Back on the street, the restored limestone reads bright against Tribeca’s industrial fabric as the renewed cornices catch changing sun. Inside, the combination of open loft proportions, crafted finishes, and subtle references to the clock factory era creates homes that feel rooted rather than new for novelty’s sake. Material by material, 62 Reade Street treats history as a surface to work with, not around.
