Joe's Wall
425, Prospect Place, Brooklyn, Kings County, NY, United States
People often have conflicted
relationships with their possessions. At best, objects resonate with our
experience. These objects can be embedded with beauty, knowledge and
utility. At worst, our possessions oppress us with their psychological
burdens. These are the objects that end up in the back of our closets,
in our basements, or in our storage lockers. For one reason or another,
we can’t bring ourselves to give them up.
Architecture provides us with the
shelves to display the objects we want to keep close and the closets we
use to hide the objects we'd rather forget.
The close quarters of a New York
studio apartment makes these relationships ever more important. So in
this apartment, we used an undulating slatted wood wall to organize the
space and to negotiate our clients’ relationship with his possessions.
This wall, Joe's Wall, runs the length of the apartment. Near the
entry, the wall forms a space for two African painting and a sculpture.
Further into the apartment, the wall pushes back to create space for
bookshelves. Adjacent to the kitchen, the wall opens up to accommodate
the refrigerator. Between these areas of display, the wood slats
conceal closets for clothing storage. In the living room, the wall
expands to create a space large enough for a full size bed. Not only
are the client's objects juxtaposed with each other (art objects,
souvenirs, books, food) but the objects are juxtaposed with the client
himself as he gets into bed.
With Joe's Wall, we intend to bring
clarity and satisfaction to the often conflicted relationship between
people and their possessions.
