That is the best way to describe this apartment. A real ground up remodel of this apartment by Lapis Design Partners created something much greater than the sum of the parts. Whitewashed bamboo, a finish sample I stumbled upon during experimentation, provided an awesome face to this complete fit out. 3Form panels were used in many of the doors, while flooring, wall and counter materials all complimented one another. Selecting materias that are beautiful but not overwhelming can be tricky. Here we used figured quartered anigre to give a warm architectural tone, contrasted with more graphic grey door systems.

Sometimes we are given 50 design requirements and the head of a pin to fit them on. It's hard for that not to get crowded. This was like an Egyptian tomb access tunnel that we turned into a powerful home office and wardrobe room. You can't see the function but the door systems are telescoping providing amazingly simple function to dividing the spaces. Excellent design work by the architect John Black helped put the owners personal collections into built in spaces, letting their art take center stage but also giving the house a lived in feel.
