[music playing] hi, i'm bob henry, founder of rert d. henry architects. and welcome to one of my favorite projects. [music playing] this is a 2,400-square-foot loft. i ndsigned this for ludaictor conti. we worked closely with luda. and he's a competitive ballroom dancer, and wanted to create an energized dance studio and a relaxed, healthy home. [music playing] when you first enter the loft, you come upon the kitchen. we wanted to give it an open feel. this island countertop was made of a solid slab of carrara marble. it's 12 feet lheg and extends into tining space. and you'll also notice that the same marble was used on the backsplash. one of my favorite pieces is this 20-foot long custom chandelier. 1,248 hand-strung crystals create a cosmic constellation. it's an ethereal experience of floating, dancing orbs, instant glamor, and architectural jewelry. [music playing] the living room has windowon three exposures, and has these incredible views of manttan and the waterway. and i wanted to bring that drama into the room itself, because this room is not on
