This 3000 square foot loft renovation, in the heart of NOHO, was designed to accommodate the clients’ modern design sensibilities and their openness to experimentation. The long living space remains free of walls, using custom built architectural events to define the spatial character and use of each area rather than partitions. These playful elements satisfy multiple functional needs simultaneously. The stainless steel steps leading from the kitchen to children’s playroom and roof fine gardening above function both as stair, kitchen cabinet, countertop and removable step ladder which may be rolled away in order to access upper cabinets, lighting or the retractable television screen and video system elsewhere in the penthouse apartment. The stationary steps are made of slip resistant glass and appear to float above the kitchen in temping provocation to the kids, who love to use them as a jungle gym. Similarly, the new mahogany mantle folds around the slate hearth of the fireplace and incorporates various extra space storage cabinets for CDs, tapes and display drawers for the couples’ antique collection.
There are three premier baths to bathrooms in the loft, each with its own dynamic elements. The children’s bathroom vanity is made of fluorescent colored acrylic cabinetry and illuminated from within like a big nightlight. The powder room’s glass countertop extends through the living room wall and lights up when the room is occupied. The master bathroom is separated from the main entry vestibule by an aquarium made of liquid crystal glass. When electrically charged the glass becomes clear allowing a view of the bedroom and frosted mirror bathroom beyond while simultaneously flooding the formerly dark entryway with natural light from the bedroom windows. In order to maintain privacy, the liquid crystal glass of the aquarium may be switched off from the bathroom side, thus becoming opaque. The new stainless steel sink is recessed into a wood countertop that cantilevers over the custom built dresser/bed unit. The countertop incorporates reading lights on the bed side and retractable mirrors and drawers on the bathroom side. A matching built-in office desk/make-up table also has concealed lighting, mirror, printer, fax and file drawers, allowing the bedroom to always remain neat and tidy with plenty of extra space storage, while still satisfying multiple purposes.

Milne / ojito RESIDENCE - New York, NY. show description view video. The clients, Anne Milne and Jacob Ojito, asked I-Beam Design to invent a new kind of ...By exploding the matrix throughout the space and using its lines to generate various programmatic interventions, the art and architecture were set in dialog.
The 1900 square feet loft has windows to the East and West, leaving the middle section and origin point in shadow. Ms. Waltemath wanted to activate this area: “I decided to illuminate the moving panel in the center of the space to become in effect a cold hearth. I started my harmonic progressions from the center of the panel, which was also the center point of the wall section framed by a long hallway when seen from the point of entry.” Ms. Waltemath consulted Linnaea Tillett of Tillett Lighting Design Inc., who frequently collaborates with artists to create artworks with integrated lighting. Ms. Tillett, who has 25 years of experience in architectural lighting design, proposed a combination of phosphorescence and L.E.D technology. “This cold hearth consists of 8 distinct panels (4 quadrants on each side) “made of clear and colored acrylic panels with L.E.D. lights hidden behind a white powder-coated aluminum frame. Phosphorescent acrylic sheets allow the work to reflect day and nighttime conditions and glow cerulean blue in dim light”. The hearth, like the rest of the design, achieves grace and dynamism by employing a subtle pallet of whites and light as a means to render form and expand space.

The couple started their gruelling, nine-month renovation project on the echoing space with a clear aim. 'We wanted to use industrial material engineering, like polished-concrete flooring and metal-framed windows, as a nod to the industrial history of our home equity rates,' says Annick, for whom the factory had special significance, as her father was a printer. Because of this, they chose to keep the original lettering displaying the company's name on the exterior. Now guests, too, can enjoy the tranquility of this home equity rates. 'The downside is that you can't skinny dip in the pool,' says Annick, whose local interiors boutique, Honoré, sells chic French pieces and north African artefacts. 'The upside is that I can test new design ideas on our guests.

Residencia para un briard. Sander Architects – EE.UU. | Residencia para un briard. Más planos de casas en Arquitectura Arkinetia >>. Sander Architects – EE. ...Residence for a Briard came out of conversations with the owners who found an old bungalow in Culver City and initially considered a renovation.
The challenge: a very tight budget.
The third issue was Hobbes, the Briard for whom the home equity rates is named: not only a huge dog but a huge factor that influenced everything from stair design to finishing materials. This is an instance when it was important that a design “go to the dogs.” Hybrid House was one of the things that attracted the clients to the Sander. The firm’s strong design reputation was important too as the client is one of the founders of the Architectural Foundation of Los Angeles.
The short list: very modern, very green, very dog friendly.
Residence for a Briard is the greenest Hybrid House ever built. Strategies and material engineering include: greywater systems, passive heating and cooling strategies, cistern to capture rainwater for watering landscaping, recycled blue jean insulation, sunflower seed wall board, bamboo flooring, marmoleum, structural materials steel frames from recycled steel, and more.
