Interiorities: An Urban Club for New York City
The studio task was to start from building intense atmospheric interior spaces, each having different qualities and brining such difference to the outside to the building exterior. In close observation of the baroque architecture, the team aimed to create space with extreme ornamentation that admix the color, material, and light to create an atmosphere that are unique but not losing its morphological continuity in forming a continuous language within.
Bar
“Dark and intimate quality”. Glossy black and white surface was used to create radical change in surface condition with geometrical deformation. Gold material was used to highlight the edge to have morphological continuity of the geometry and it being highly intensified with ornamentation to create an intimate zones, varying in its intensity. Bar space, which is compression of the components below and above, making relations to enclose and privatize zones within the bar to create privacy and intimate condition that are enriched with such ornamentation and geometric compression of the space. This intensity is pushed further with change in lighting quality, “a back lit surface” to “line light” to “a task light.” Transformation of the space is intensified with these lighting quality shifts along with geometry and material change to create dark intense atmospheric space.
Smoking room
The smoking room designed to have programmatic relation to the bar space but having qualitative difference in atmospheric condition. Dematerialization of the floor and ceiling of the bar space becomes entry and way-finding for smoking lounge users from the bar. The smoking lounge is designed with floor slab of the bar space, which bifurcates into spatial quality and different atmospheric conditions are emerged from the bifurcation of this surficial component. Color and material are shifted from glossy to mate and soft surface with intense color. Lights are used to highlight the edge condition within the smoky atmosphere.
Spa & therapy
A unisex spa and therapy space was created to have uniqueness in both spatial and programmatic attribute in New York City. Flat surficial component transforms into spatial component, and begins to intensify its qualities as it shifts from one corner to the next. What was structural and intensely layered by geometry becomes dematerialized and program specific spatial quality begins to emerge. Entrance space is simple in its geometry, having pure geometric form with unified program. This spatial quality is then shifted to functional and multiple-programmatic spatial condition that geometry and material begins to have its function to create programmatic emergence. The floor of the spa is filled with water with floor plates that differs in depth to create various activities. Such change in elevation would create topological condition within the spa that allows various activities and interaction for the users. Floor is highlighted with line lights that lead people to experience the radical shift in quality within.
Restaurant
The restaurant is designed with color, material, light to have radical shift within this 3 dimensional transforming space. Dark privatized zones to bright opened zones are transforming in its quality through dematerialized central stair surface. The transformation is highlighted with lighting to create continuity, which was used in bar space to create intensity and intimacy. Line lights continues through the transforming central space to have continuation of two different qualitative space, and becomes back-lit, surficial light as it hits edge of the each zones. Morphological continuity is achieved through the changing of the light between the atmospheric shifts within.
Roof Terrace
Roof of the restaurant transforms into an open roof terrace to provide visual artifact for the club members. Gold and line lights are used to highlight the corners of the roof space.
Exterior of the building was designed to represent the radical qualitative shift of the building interior spaces. Colors and geometry of the interior spaces are pushed into panelizing system that shows the various qualitative geometries that would be experienced within. Each corner and surface of the exterior has its own qualitative attributes and transformation of these attributes creates atmospheric condition of the each corner and surfaces in-between. Lighting, which shifts radically from back-lit to line light to dot is used on the exterior to intensify the geometric shift.
