Tribeca Pied-à-Terre

Tribeca Pied-à-Terre, 2021

Young Projects

As a Pied-à-Terre, the studio apartment is designed for occupants dropping in for a short trip. Specific context thus allows for an immersive experience that might otherwise be unreasonable as a domestic space. Additionally, the client is interested in altered states. 

The small jewelbox apartment is defined by a highly sculptural plaster ceiling, whose soffit is peaks and round ridges, create a surreal effect. The mirrored installation of a single plaster panel nods to traditional, factory made tin ceilings with visually complex patterns of repetition and symmetry.  An elaborately burled olive ash volume containing a bed and a closet, complements the plaster canopy's graphic topography, while deep teal walls, cerulean tiling, and a sleek brushed aluminum kitchenette add acute dimensionality. 

Modest in budget and size, the executed project and principles are most radical through the lens of execution, an intense, bottom-up design solution that originated from an empirical form finding morsel.  Compression becomes a line, becomes a tile, becomes a ceiling, becomes a studio in Tribeca.
