Bedroom • 530 Park Ave Unit 17A, New York, NY 10065
Built-in storage vanishes from windows. Walls display raw, unpainted plaster. The media console is removed, leaving a clean, open area. This redesign creates an expansive, unburdened presence.
Surfaces are reduced to elemental materials. Walls reveal natural grey plaster. Window sills feature matte concrete. Polished concrete floors ground the room. Pure white and charcoal linens complete the bed.
This room reveals space in its most foundational form.
Design Philosophy
This design employs Elemental Reduction, stripping away every non-essential element. Material Honesty dictates the use of raw, unadorned surfaces. Foundational forms emerge, creating powerful negative space. The result is an unburdened, starkly honest environment.
Spatial Narrative
Your eye is drawn to the uncluttered windows, revealing expansive city views. The open floor space directs you across the polished concrete. You settle onto the low, minimal platform bed.
Light Study
Morning light streams broadly through unadorned windows, illuminating the raw plaster walls. It creates long, sharp shadows across the polished concrete floor. Evening hours rely on focused, recessed fixtures for direct illumination.
Living Vignette
You trace a finger along the cool, matte concrete sill. The quiet of the room holds only the distant city hum.
Material Palette
Natural Grey Plaster: It feels raw and subtly uneven, developing a deeper texture over years.
Matte Concrete Sills: It feels dense and cool, showing a refined bluntness that endures.
Polished Concrete Floor: It feels smooth and solid, reflecting light and maturing with a subtle sheen.
