位于原始的高端市中心地址之一——梅瑟街158号的7梅瑟是一座4200平方英尺的极简主义杰作。这是一套高层、光线充足的三卧室阁楼，由德博拉·伯克设计。这间阁楼在许多方面都显得独特。它有16扇落地窗，四个全景视角；西侧的视野俯瞰索霍区和哈德逊河。天花板的高度接近11英尺。每一个细节都被简化，整个空间仅使用了六种材料：胡桃木、橡木、白色玻璃、灰泥、不锈钢和曼哈顿片岩，这是一种深色、带有石榴石斑点的石材。每个灯具都是相同的、标准化的。平行线条和重复元素让整个家充满光线、空气和秩序；甚至染黑的橡木地板的纹理也呈现直线流动。玻璃和薄纱将光线深深引入阁楼内部，造就了为数不多的几个整个明亮的真正阁楼之一。主卧室与公共空间通过一面白色玻璃墙隔开，让光线通过的同时确保了完全的隐私。每张床都是根据空间定制的，衣柜也是如此。在浴室中，浴缸和洗手池是由黑色片岩的实心块定制而成。

作为索霍豪华阁楼繁荣的先驱，位于梅瑟街158号的新博物馆大楼是一座世纪之交的铸铁建筑，1996年被改造成阁楼。这是一座提供全方位服务的公寓大楼，配备24小时门卫、公共屋顶平台以及两个入口，以确保低调的出入。

A 4,200-square-foot minimalist masterpiece in one of the original premier downtown addresses, 158 Mercer Street, 7Mercer is a high-floor, light-filled three-bedroom loft designed by Deborah Berke. The loft is rare in many senses. It includes 16 floor-to-ceiling windows with four full exposures; the western views careen over SoHo and toward the Hudson River. The ceilings are just shy of 11’. Every detail is simplified, with only six materials used throughout: walnut, oak, white colored glass, plaster, stainless steel, and Manhattan schist, which is a dark, garnet-flecked stone. Each fixture is identical and standardized. Parallel lines and repetition suffuse the home with light, air, and order; even the grain of the ebonized oak floor flows in straight lines. Glass and scrims conduct light deep into the interior of the loft, creating one of the few true lofts that is bright throughout. The principal bedroom is separated from the public spaces by a white glass wall, allowing light but assuring full privacy. Each bed is custom-built for the space, as are the closets. In the bathrooms, the tub and sinks are custom fabricated from solid blocks of black schist.

A harbinger of SoHo’s luxury loft boom, The New Museum Building at 158 Mercer Street is a turn-of-the-century cast iron building that was converted to lofts in 1996. A full-service condominium, the building offers a 24-hour doorman, a common roof deck, and two entrances for discreet entry and egress.
