Dining Room • 1 Sutton Pl S Unit 4CD, New York, NY 10022
The ornate mirror and console are removed. A custom lime wash plaster wall now defines the space. All decorative art is gone. A raw concrete panel anchors the opposite wall.
A solid oak slab functions as the dining table. Chairs feature unadorned wood frames and natural canvas. Floor-to-ceiling linen panels replace old drapery. A jute rug adds elemental texture.
The room's fundamental form makes the primary statement.
Design Philosophy
Essentialist Design strips away excess decoration. It allows fundamental forms to resonate. Architectural Purity reveals raw elegance in materials and light. The room itself becomes the primary statement.
Spatial Narrative
The eye immediately goes to the textured lime wash wall. It draws you into the room. You settle at the solid oak table, grounded by its presence.
Light Study
Morning light from the large window sculpts wall textures. Hidden linear lighting highlights floor and wall details in the evening. This creates dramatic shadows and focal points.
Living Vignette
The weight of the raw linen drapes moves slightly with a breeze. Light catches the visible grain of the oak table.
Material Palette
Lime wash plaster: This matte finish offers subtle texture; it deepens with age.
Untreated solid oak: The substantial grain is visible; it gains character over time.
Raw linen: Its heavy weave provides natural drape; it softens with use.
