If you’ve ever read Jules Verne’s seminal science fiction novels — “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea” (1870) or “A Journey to the Center of the Earth” (1864) — then you’ll especially appreciate the inspired retro-futuristic feel of this New York City loft.

Packed to the gills with repurposed vintage nautical artifacts and antique welding tools, the space is a monument to the “steampunk” genre, which captures the aesthetic expression of a time-traveling fantasy world filled with proto-submarines, locomotives and zeppelins.
