IT'S ALMOST LIKE a townhouse within a building," Peter Vits says of the threestory Noho space in an 1858 cast-iron building that he and his wife, the architect Zoe Vidali, first moved into in 2015. The 4,200-square-foot loft hadn't been redone since the 1980s, when it had been the home, studio, and gallery of an artist who was one of the original tenants of the building when it became a co-op. The artist had put in three spindly spiral staircases and a Jacuzzi bathtub in the middle of the bedroom on the lowest of the floors. The only source of natural light was a back wall of glass bricks and a high window.
It was a bit like a casino with the real world blocked out. Still, Vits and Vidali didn't start renovating immediately. "I think you have to live in the space before you start the work," Vidali says. "Then we started working on the drawings a year later."
