Pineapple Loft
Located
in Brooklyn Heights, this loft was conceived in two phases. Phase I consists of
the two window bays closest to egress stair, while phase II consists of the
addition of a third window bay with its adjacent perimeter wall, transforming
the previously two window loft into a spacious corner apartment with two
exposures.
In
phase I, public and private spaces are defined yet linked by a permeable zone
of cabinetry along the existing line of structure. This “shim wall” directs
ones view towards the stage of the space: the magnificent view of the Manhattan
skyline through the window. The directionality of the space is further
emphasized by the forward thrusting kitchen island/dining table element. The
“shim wall” also serves as a light-filtering device, through the extensive use
of Lumasite panels in its construction, emphasizing the permeability of the
spatial divider between public and private zones in the context of family
living, while allowing light to reach all spaces.
Designed
as a continuous element intended to link spaces along it and through it, the
“shim wall” serves as a matrix against which different elements of the program
are registered. To that end, specific elements are inserted into it in response
to specific uses: a sleeping/play zone for the young children in the family off
of (and almost an extension of) the kitchen zone, a serving counter at the
dining area, a media center at the sitting area. It is a wall to look at, look
along, look through, walk through, store into, and store one-self into.
Phase
II extends the sitting area in the direction perpendicular to the view, while
adding a master-suite. An L-shaped cabinet is used as the elbow between the two
spatial zones. The “shim wall” is sistered yet not rivaled by a like element,
which allows the space to turn the corner, successfully unifying the various
public areas.
This
loft renovation illustrates the adapt-ability and expand-ability of a coherent
tectonic/spatial language that is able to seamlessly redefine itself in
response to the changing dynamics of family life.
