Cathedral Parkway Apartment

NYC
2009 – 2011

The arrangement of this apartment at the North West corner of New York City’s Central Park was previously two separate dwelling units creating an uninterrupted 20-metre vista, with views out to the city at either end. The architectural re-envisioning of these spaces began with the idea of striping away everything to a condition of austerity and utilizing the two axes from the core structure to shape the new geometry of the now two bedroom accommodation.

A wood volume inserted within the inner core opens to a series of white walls marking out areas for family living, kitchen and library, generating the sense of an expansive, loft-like layout, whilst creating an assembly of gathering spaces in which the activities of common household life can organically take place.
