This 2200 square foot apartment renovation, in the Upper East Side,
was designed to accommodate the clients' modern design sensibilities
and combine their work environment with their home. The apartment is
located in the Sovereign Building on East 58th street, and was
originally conceived as a 2-bedroom apartment with a maid's room,
which was clearly defined as individual rooms.
The renovation attempted to open up the space from the existing
traditional apartment to a contemporary open loft space, allowing
more view and light to filter through. The prime objective was to
maximize storage space and to minimize maintenance due to the
presence of the client's dog. To protect the existing Eileen Grey
sofa and all the new built-in furniture from the dog, an extensive
amount of black leather was used for its durability. To offset the
black, "de Stijl primary colors" were used in order to create a more
playful environment. This was achieved by creating a band of birch
cabinetry, toped with yellow Fincolor plywood with exposed dark
stained edge that ribbon through out the apartment. It starts from
one end as the office, and moves thru dining area to the other end as
the living room. The living space remains free of walls, using custom
built architectural events to define the spatial character and use of
each area rather than partitions. These playful elements satisfy
multiple functional needs simultaneously.
The yellow surface changes height as it meanders through the
apartment functioning as the client's desk top in the office, counter
top with storage underneath, built-in sofa in the living area, book
shelf above the stereo system and office, sink counter in the powder
room, and built-in seating in the kitchen.
