Assembledge+ Renders Stardust East AnewBicoastal U.S. creative production company Stardust Studios recently engaged renowned architecture and development firm assembledge+ to design the company's new New York City studio.
Originally based in Venice, California, Stardust's first New York studio opened in 2004 at 446 Broadway, and eventually moved to 118 Lafayette in SoHo, where its operations - and its reputation - grew dramatically over the course of several years.
After growing into new space in Santa Monica and hooking-up with assembledge+ to contribute designs to his breathtaking studios on Main Street in 2007, Stardust's founder Jake Banks signed the lease on a unique 7,000 square-foot loft back on Broadway, and he turned to assembledge+ to make it fit.
"Over the years, our needs for client services have increased, and as a result of that, we had really grown out of our old place on Lafayette," Banks explained.
"For our new studio, we wanted a cool space that everyone wanted to hang out in, that was large enough for our staff but still in the cool part of SoHo."
The second floor of 591 Broadway fit the bill perfectly.
In the words of David Thompson, assembledge+ partner and principal in charge of the project, "It's about 250-feet long, sort of like a bowling-alley.
It's not typical in New York to get a space that goes block-to-block, but this one goes from Broadway to Mercer."
