This loft apartment in a converted manufacturing building in NYC and uses a series of moveable perforated screens to make divisions in the space. The perforations allow the pattern of a surface to be three dimensional and have depth in space at a scale that almost promotes physically interaction with the surface.
One wall of the bedroom is milled from 3” thick laminated plywood with a ever changing pattern whcih creates a surface from varations similar geometries. The panels of the wall conceal a walk-in closet and bathroom behind and have lighting from the back and the front that can be adjusted depending on the activities of the room. Joining a pattern of shapes at the back of the panel with a slightly adjusted pattern at the front of the panel creates the perforations. This connection of the two patterns changes, with the effect that the pattern follows one as they move about the space. The front surface of the panels is also “shaped” to make a wall that is not defined by it’s straight verticality.
The laser-cut steel-frame screen separates two spaces in the main loft space of the apartment. The steel frames slide from side to side, permitting the pattern to be re-configured at will. The pattern is made using two defined shapes that break the confines of the grid, and change based on the relationship of natural light from the wid- owsand the folded surface of the screen.
Metal ribs support the screen and its folded geometry, and the ribs are also laser cut with and indentation where the rib intersects with a perforation in the surface. This gives the perforation a negative form as it crosses the moment of support. The pattern changes dramatically at times along the surface and transitions between a moiré effect and a flatness produced by adjustments between the two defined shapes. This screen balances the effects of the light from the space behind with the reflected light from the space in front.
