Battery Park Residence

The clients for this residential project came to us seeking a solution to minimize clutter and maximize flexibilty for their high floor unit in New York's Battery Park City.  The apartment's small interior footprint is tempered by a large roof deck with expansive views of downtown manhattan, so maintaining a strong visual connection to the outdoor space was a priority.

Our solution was to create a series of "active wall" millwork insertions that use folding and sliding partitions to conceal and reveal workspaces, doors, storage, dining and video screens.  The panels serve as a unifying visual motif beginning at the enrty foyer and extending into the living room, bedrooms, bath and kitchen areas.
