Kitchen • 930 Fifth Ave Unit 11A, New York, NY 10021
A raw concrete block replaces the kitchen island. It stands as a sculptural element, directing movement. A polished mirror panel overhead reflects the kitchen.
A single, oversized lounge chair offers distinct seating. Pin-spot lights provide intense, focused illumination. A deep charcoal rug partially blocks circulation paths.
Scale and material define new kitchen interactions.
Design Philosophy
This design redefines familiar elements through unexpected roles. Deconstructive Minimalism breaks traditional kitchen forms. Experiential Abstraction reshapes how one interacts with the space. Material and scale changes force a re-evaluation of function.
Spatial Narrative
Your eye first meets the colossal concrete block. Circulation paths around it are deliberately altered. You settle into the singular, oversized lounge chair.
Light Study
Morning light reveals the concrete's raw texture through windows. The overhead mirror panel reflects and diffuses this natural light. Evening pin-spots create intense, focused pools of light on specific zones.
Living Vignette
A hand trails along the cool, textured concrete block. The ceiling panel momentarily captures the glint of a steel pot.
