Once A Dance Hall
by Lloyd Alter, Toronto on 06.29.07
Many loft renovations seem to eradicate any trace of the former uses; Phillip Rossini and Joe Ponciano bought an old Polish dance hall and kept as much as possible, and all of the furnishings are from vintage stores, kitchen supply stores or IKEA. The kitchen shown here is a good example: the kitchen island and dining table is salvaged from a mustard factory; the commercial range was bought in the Bowery for twelve hundred bucks (they cost five times that new)- “It was so much cheaper to buy old industrial stuff than a brand-new stove,” says Rossini.
