The SoHo Synagogue is the community’s first ever synagogue and represents a fresh vision that translates the inspiration of Judaism to a new generation. Mindful of the open mindset of lower Manhattan’s Jewish population, the design of the SoHo Synagogue seeks to reinvent the synagogue as a comfortable and enjoyable setting. Studio Dror was assigned to create a space in which the synagogue can embrace the traditions and its fundamental function within a contemporary, casual design setting. Dror plays with dual meanings and the juxtaposition of times and cultures through the overall artistic direction of the space and design details.
