0 sqft - 1000 sqft
The program is a young child’s bedroom, lofted over a play space that can also be used as a guest bedroom. The intervention is conceived as a single, very large piece of millwork inserted within a one-bedroom apartment.
The project posed a fun challenge to accommodate access to the lofted bedroom above, within the very tight constraints of the space. This provided a unique opportunity to design a quirky alternating-tread stair that becomes a feature—a ghosted, zigzagged line tracing behind a glowing, translucent glass wall, their silhouette is faintly registered on the opposite side. The stairs are finished with Jatoba wood, as are the floor of the loft and ceiling of the playroom. The wood becomes a beautiful accent that carries through a compressed zone leading to the master bedroom. A built-in dresser and desk are integrated into the loft; white full-height built-in cabinets provide storage below for the playroom.
The design takes advantage of the tall ceilings and large windows in the apartment to bring natural daylight to the loft and playroom. The loft is pulled back from the exterior wall, creating a narrow, light-filled double-height space where the bottom turn of the stair peeks out. The composition, materials and detailing imbue a sense of openness, connection and lightness, without sacrificing privacy.
Materials: Hot Rolled Steel, Baltic Birch Plywood, Jatoba (Bazillian Cherry) Wood, Gloss White Thermafoil, White Laminated Glass, Anodized Aluminum, White Plastic Laminate
