it is moving day here in new york city welcome to my brand new soho loft
so today is the day i am finally moving into my new new york city apartment this will be my last
rental in new york city and i couldn't have found a more unique space in this video i'll be doing a
raw walkthrough of the new space and without any ado welcome to my new new york city apartment
welcome to the apartment this is the entry kind of four-year area and i'm trying to figure out what
to do with this space so i'm thinking putting a bench along here so you come in you take
your shoes off we have the beautiful fluorescent light which i'm going to probably change out just
to give it a warmer tone then off to the left this is actually really cool oh what's up theo
this is the walk-in closet so if you come fully in we'll shut the door just so you can get the full
experience sorry theo so there's a ton of storage we have all the shelving and like i said this is
moving day so i'm still totally unpacking and i figured why not make a raw moving vlog but yeah
we have all the shelving here then on this side we actually have the closet for hanging coats
suits all that so there's a ton of storage and also more shelving right here i'll probably put
my camera gear and then further back in this is actually the laundry room so there's a setup for
a washer and dryer which i still have to get and then on this far corner we have a ton of shelving
have all my tools here vacuum the fact that this place has a laundry room and also a walk-in closet
that's typically a lot of storage for a new york city apartment but this place has something that
i've really never seen this in an apartment in the city we have to head out into the hallway
check this out i have a ton of keys we got the top lock bottom lock and of course the storage room
lock so check this out this apartment has a 100 square foot storage unit which if you are
an artist i mean you can see the light in here there's a full window in here you could make
this your studio i have my bike in here i have some boxes eventually this will be filled up
with probably miscellaneous things and it's actually funny i just put out a video on
my channel i did a collab with cash jordan the rental agent and we toured an apartment
that was smaller than this storage room so just for perspective this could be an apartment
in new york city this room right here so that's pretty cool when i saw that this had this storage
room like another thing that was like checking the box where do i sign back across the hallway and
we're back in the apartment and now for the big reveal when i first saw this place and i walked in
here and i saw this this is 2 200 square feet of prime industrial soho loft living 15 foot ceilings
tons of natural sunlight when i saw this i was like okay like this is it this is home you know
when you walk into a place and you can instantly feel that energy that's kind of indescribable if
you've ever purchased a home or even renting an apartment when you know you know when i walked in
here i just knew i knew this was home and uh and that's that this apartment actually has a proper
lofted living space so let's head up there first off to the corner though i want to point this out
this is my super 73 this just came in the mail i haven't even taken this out yet but i think it's
cool to even have a super 73 in the apartment but let's head upstairs they painted this white and i
love how it's just this industrial metal staircase welcome to the loft and you can see the ceilings
aren't quite high enough for me to have this be my bedroom but i'm going to use it as like a lounge
guest bedroom so off in the corner here we have the guest bed which theo sleeps on you have the
built-in lights you even have a ton of outlets so this place was designed to be a bedroom
but like i said because the ceilings are pretty low it's probably going to be a movie theater
area slash guest bedroom and even it gets lower as you walk in so this is kind of interesting
this i'm going to probably turn to a reading look so can you make it through i mean how cool is this
little corner there's even a window so you do get a little light back here but i was thinking about
putting just some shag carpet some poofs and just bookshelves and having to be like a cozy
like hangout area i don't know comment down below what you think i should do with this space
i think you need a big bean bag like a love sack yeah like a bunch like a like a lot i love old
buildings and when i saw this place um i mean i'll talk more about what this was before but when i
saw this like i need to move in here it just has so much history but let's head out come on dogs
also i want to introduce this is cooper this is my buddy pat's dog cooper is a bernadoodle
theo's good friend he'll be giving the tour as well you're a good boy aren't you the owners
of this apartment built in here watch out cooper they built in this paneling so this can slide open
to let in the sunlight if you're having a party you could give some kind of like a speech up here
i mean take a look this is how you can really see the full perspective of this place and how large
it is it's pretty awesome but we'll shut this i do like how they also have these on a track so they
can slide open let's head back down show you guys the rest of the space so from the top of the loft
it's really that you can see the true perspective that this was a factory and it now has its second
life as a dwelling as a living space and heading down the stairs i want to point this out one of
the reasons why i fell in love with this space was the natural light this is just bouncing off
a random window out there it's just casting this awesome light stream here i mean the lighting in
this apartment is 10 out of 10. but heading down the loft we have this pile of just i've put away
most of the things but this is just the uh yeah this is the pile i've got to figure out what to
do with all this stuff i want to ask your opinion about this area here so hear me out i was thinking
about either painting that wood white or black so comment down below what you think or do i keep it
just as the wood and over here we have the kitchen and this table is from an apartment i lived in
three years ago so this will actually be going i'm planning on getting a massive 10 foot maybe
12 foot table which will go like right in this area just because i feel like it's such an open
space you need a big table and then back to the kitchen all new appliances which is pretty sweet
all stainless steel and it's really interesting because in photos people are like you don't look
like you have enough kitchen space but look how high these cabinets are and look how much space
there is for storage i don't own enough kitchenware to actually fill all this up
so over time i'll be accumulating more and more the kitchen also has a dishwasher which i've only
ever lived in one other apartment that had one of these which was my last one then off to the
corner here brand new microwave more storage i mean this right here just kind of have all the
supplements all theo supplements that's pretty much the kitchen i'm still debating if i should
put some kind of an island here or a breakfast bar just to really break up the space because
it is just so open concept the lighting in here is actually very awesome i was kind of worried
that there wouldn't be enough lighting but if you look up you have this stage lighting track with
this dramatic overhead lighting which i love it really fits with the space it's super industrial
then we'll head off so this will be the dining room dining room table right here and you can see
there's the perfect space here and here for two massive pieces of art i love how you even have the
display lights to light up the art so if you are an artist in the city comment down below if you'd
like to feature a piece in my apartment even just to have in here for the tour i want to support
local artists because this building is a soho artist building i've met my neighbors and there's
people who have lived in here for the past almost 40 years i actually met a girl down the hall she's
26 and she said she was born in this building and then right in front of us here this is going to be
the living room kind of relaxation area i actually have my couches from the last apartment these are
from cartiel i'm going gonna plan on getting a rug of some sort here just to break up the space from
the hardwood floor i had a lot of furniture for my last apartment that was in storage so i have
this awesome stage light this is staying this place is a bit older so there isn't central air
and we have the four units which i think is awesome rather than having the unit in the window
which could be a bit of an eyesore nice little relaxation chair here this is called the womb
chair so i've had this tv from a partnership about a year ago i worked with lg this is one of those
tvs where you hang it and it looks like a picture frame so you can display whatever art you want
and i'll either mount that right directly in from the couches or on this wall here kind of tbd
this place will look totally different in the next few videos i'm actually doing some construction in
here which i'll talk about in a bit but from the living room i want to talk about this this is a
15 foot concrete column and a little history about this building this was actually a printing factory
so they had huge printing machines in here which are super heavy so that's why there's this massive
industrial concrete column right in the middle of the apartment and i love this thing i think
it's so cool just so you can see the bones of the building like this is holding up the roof above us
but continuing on we have the bathroom off to the corner here and the bathroom is a bit
tiny i'll head in here for some perspective it's just the essentials sliding glass shower
new vanity why'd you even talk about this like is there anything to talk about here just a bathroom
man it's a functional bathroom just to get the job done so yeah leaving the bathroom if you've
been watching my channel for some time you'll remember this this was in my apartment it was
three apartments ago so it was the 300 square foot apartment this awesome industrial mirror this is
staying not right here i still got to figure all that out but then this area here this is where i'm
actually going to be building a wall so from this point here directly across the whole apartment
to right about here i'm going to make a wall so this wall is going to be half glass
with black factory windows and then right here there's going to be a sliding glass barn door
like i was saying the loft up there i don't want to wake up and smack my head so i'm going to have
a proper bedroom here we have the kind of dirty king-size mattress took a beating on the move this
mattress will be most likely right here and i'm going to keep it really minimal i don't want to
have a ton of furniture just the essentials but i haven't had a bedroom like an actual bedroom
in a long time because even the last apartment it just had that little lofted area so this will
be a very decent sized bedroom again we have another one of those awesome concrete columns
right in the bedroom over here another ac unit and then we have my good old desk again from that 300
square foot studio apartment brought it into this place i love this desk it's actually from west elm
the chair is from cartiel and this will be my office area and i'm kind of debating if i want
to make almost an l-shaped desk here just so i can have another monitor and really have this be my
edit station so comment down below what you think the windows the windows are the reason why i got
this apartment aside from you know the industrial feeling the loft the columns we have these four
gigantic i believe they're eight and a half feet there's sunlight all day there's natural light
that just comes into the entire space throughout the day and i mentioned there's a wall going up so
with those glass factory windows you'll still be able to see into the bedroom and i plan on
putting a curtain rod or something just so you know when i need privacy i can have it but i
really want this light to continue just filling up the space so the factory windows are really
the way to do that i love the fact that this place has character it has the high 15 foot ceilings it
has all those theatrical stage lights throughout the place i mean i'm stoked on this place i'm just
gonna walk and get a perspective shot of just like this place is it's huge and it was such a
rare find because i'm still in soho i feel like if you're living in soho the only real reason to live
down here or tribeca is to live in a loft building like this so there you have it here is just a raw
first look at my brand new apartment comment down below especially if you are into decor interior
design i am open to suggestion on just how to stage this place and really to place the furniture
just because it is a large open room so comment down below i hope you're well watching this
video and with that i'll see you in the next video where i'll be documenting the renovation
the construction of the wall to make this place a proper one-bedroom i'll see you in the next video
oh
