Tia SoHo | Alda Ly Architecture & Design

Tia SoHo is located in the heart of SoHo at the intersection of Broadway and Broome Street on the 2nd floor of the historic E.V. Haughwout Building, built in 1857. For the design of the 5,500-square-foot space, ALA was particularly inspired by the historic detailing and classical language of the original building, such as the fluting and decorative capitals on the original cast iron columns and embossed tin ceilings. For ALA, it was important to respect and celebrate this original detailing by leaving it exposed and featuring it with strategic lighting, rather than covering it up. The space is saturated with lots of natural light, calming mauve and clay hues, rich textures and residentially-inspired furniture, finishes and details such as a black and white terrazzo reception desk, terracotta colored accent niches, and furnishings in bold oranges, yellow and pink tones with greenery throughout. Continues Feddema, “We hope it gives patients and providers that ‘exhale moment’ when they enter the space and a respite from the high-energy of the streets below.”
