Habitas members' clubhouse opens in old New York fire station



Creative agency StyleMood has transformed a 19th-century firehouse in New York City into this cosy members' club.
The six-storey Habitas clubhouse occupies a fire station, which was built in 1885 near Penn Station ? the busiest transit hub in the United States.

Locally based StyleMood overhauled the six-storey building on 240 West 30th Street for hospitality group Habitas.
The aim was to create a tranquil refuge within a notoriously frenetic part of the city, following the theme of the company's first hotel in Tulum.
"We had to create a synergy between the feeling of the original Habitas location in Tulum and city life," StyleMood owner and creative director Nil Erbil told Dezeen. "Every corner is considered liveable."
The venue serves a multipurpose "house" for social gatherings, solo and collaborative work, and personal wellness.
"The clubhouse is meant to feel like a home away from home with each space offering a familiar yet unexpected oasis to meet a friend, listen to music, share a bite, exercise or simply unwind," said Habitas in a project statement.

The interior is a mix-and-match of old-world and contemporary design, featuring the building's original ornamental windows and a preserved 1929 emergency call box belonging to the New York Fire Department.
