Softbox rocks

Welcome to Softbox. Softbox is a 1600 square foot warehouse space in Queens, New York which came to me rough but will hopefully in phases come together as a live work/studio space as well as a testing ground for future projects.



The building is classic box warehouse with glass block window walls. I have been subletting a smaller unit on the same floor for the last couple of months. The glass block distorts and clarifies the color of light, making the room feel like a softbox.




It should be a slow moving and flexible project. I see it as progressing in phases, from the immediate clean up and temporary (tent city) phase to providing studio space for several friends, and eventually additions of plumbing and more permanent structures. Stay tuned...
