Over the summer of 2022, Daniel Arsham paid nearly $6 million for a converted New York firehouse designed by official FDNY architect\u00a0Napoleon LeBrun<\/a>\u00a0and completed in 1887 for Engine Company No. 55. The contemporary artist then set about customizing the landmarked building, most notably repurposing the ground floor into a soaring studio\/garage with poured concrete floors, custom bookshelves, and an iron spiral staircase painted in his signature mint green. The double-bay doors and an existing curb cut also allowed him to accommodate his matching Porsche 964 Carrera 2.<\/p>\n

Arsham\u2014best known for his “fictional archaeology” works, which transform modern pop-culture items, cars, and tech devices into eroded, crystal-infused relics\u2014has now listed his stylishly updated digs in Lower Manhattan’s SoHo neighborhood for a dash under $9 million. Nick Gavin Properties at Compass represents\u00a0the listing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Spanning almost 21 feet wide and encompassing roughly 2,100 square feet across four stories, the 19th-century structure retains its original patterned brickwork and cast-iron pillars topped with flame motifs. Inside, the light-filled upper levels showcase wide-plank oak floors, 13-foot ceilings, and large windows framing views of Lafayette Street.\u00a0Per\u00a0<\/a>Artnet<\/a>, the interiors are decorated with pieces by KAWS,\u00a0Josh Sperling, and Arsham himself, though none of the art is included in the sale.<\/p>\n

Standing out above the garage\/studio is a spacious living room beneath an exposed wood-beamed ceiling and a sleek kitchen outfitted with white oak cabinetry, an eat-in island, and top-tier Miele and Sub-Zero appliances. A full-floor primary suite\u2014the home’s sole bedroom\u2014is dressed in wallpaper inspired by an installation Arsham created in Paris. It also has a bespoke walk-in closet and a bath with Vola fixtures, a sculpted sink, and a windowed steam shower.<\/p>\n

Beyond the rare luxury of a private drive-in garage, the firehouse also boasts a landscaped rooftop sporting a built-in outdoor kitchen, a cabana, and panoramic views of the downtown skyline. The basement is equipped with storage, laundry facilities, and a flexible recreation area, while integrated high-tech systems include smart-home automation and security systems, along with multi-zone climate control tailored for art preservation.<\/p>\n
