Tribeca Apartment 2
New York, New York
2007
1,500 square feet

SAS was retained to renovate an existing top floor of a Tribeca apartment for a young couple. The couple’s love of sailboats drove the design toward the minimal and flat, as well as the careful development of custom millwork, storage, and finishes.

The apartment, originally a one bedroom, one bathroom unit, was converted into a two bedroom, two bathroom residence. The existing stainless steel kitchen appliances, island, and cabinetry were retained and reconfigured for the new layout. To accommodate the additional sleeping and bathing spaces, SAS developed extremely efficient layouts, storage, furnishings, and finishes. Bathrooms were designed to be fabricated from a single material for floors and walls, with no shower doors or extraneous hardware interrupting the space. The second bedroom- served by a fold-down bed and concealed storage- also doubles as an office. The master bedroom- served by a separate walk-in closet custom designed to fit the clients’ wardrobe, a washer/dryer space, and auxiliary storage for the house- allows the bedroom to be minimal and relaxed, unburdened by extras. An existing skylight was re-framed and outfitted with concealed lighting emphasizing its view to the sky and water tower above.
