Project Description
FROM THE ARCHITECTS:
Tapped to lead the design of The Wing’s first location, ALA reinterpreted the co-working typology as a radically inclusive, collaborative, and stylish space for female-identifying people. In response to the site—a classic fifth-floor Soho loft—ALA conserved original elements that best conveyed the historic setting, dovetailing them into a network of communal and enclosed spaces that cater to both interaction and focused work. In 2019, ALA led the space’s 10,000-square-foot expansion onto the building’s 4th floor. Historic elements were interlaced with progressive interventions throughout; minimalistic lighting was paired with the original tin ceiling and the floor was clad in 7-inch-wide planks. The brand’s first-ever childcare space, The Little Wing, helped inform ALA’s configuration of the new level, with the architect stressing an open floor plan that intrudes minimally on sight lines.
