| Mercer Street Loft No. 1
New York City, 2000
This
3,700 square foot loft in New York City, renovated for an Art Director and
his family includes, a 1200 sf living room with a kitchen hidden behind
walnut doors, a wall of white translucent glass to the master bedroom, and
extensive built-in furniture to house and display their art collection.
The three bedrooms contain custom built-in beds and closets behind walls
of walnut doors. In the baths, the tub and massive sinks are custom-fabricated
from solid blocks of black schist.
All materials: the smooth plaster walls, ebonized oak floors, polished schist
blocks, oiled walnut slabs, brushed stainless steel splashes, lighting,
white glass, and white window scrims are detailed in the most reductive
manner possible. This project received a 2001 Interior Architecture Award
given by the New York Chapter of the American Institute of Architects. |
