The redesign of this developer unit rejects the model of large homes that segregate “served” (public) space from “service” (private) spaces; as is clear in the original layout of this unit, most urban apartments simply cannot comfortably create two such distinct types of spaces. Hence, reasonable “modern, urban living,” in an architectural sense, involves the dynamic and poetic use of poché, the conventional "service space" of any home (bathrooms, storage, closets, structure, service chases, etc.)
White porcelain tile is used throughout to further unify the interior, but likewise its reflective properties contribute to an entirely luminous interior. The tiles extend onto the balcony to visually link it to the interior. A “garden” of fibre-optic acrylic rods that sway and make sounds in the manner of reeds is placed around the edges of the balcony. Thus, the balcony that is most often a token condominium feature (ironically fated to become the storage place for bicycles and unused furniture) here creates a vital outdoor living room whose garden aspect, even in the winter, creates a serene visual counterpoint to the bustle of the city beyond and below.
