Gramercy Apartment, New York

Although modest in size, the Gramercy Apartment is a multi-purpose loft-like space that delivers the program of a large one-bedroom apartment in only 450 square feet.  Two distinct ceiling heights are existing conditions—a 12’ ceiling area for the living area and an 8’-6”ceiling for the other functions. Before the renovation, the floor plan located the kitchen at the opposite end of the apartment from the living area with the bathroom and a wasted corridor in the middle. The proposed floor plan takes advantage of the high ceiling for the living area and reverses the locations of the kitchen and bathroom zoning the apartment into three distinct but open functions: sleeping, eating, and living. At the center, a large table can comfortably seat 8 persons addressing the Client’s desire to have an apartment suitable for entertaining guests.

        Gramercy公寓虽然规模不大，但是一个多用途的阁楼式空间，在一个只有450平方英尺的大型一卧室公寓里完成了设计。两个不同的天花板高度存在的情况是：生活区域和其他功能区的的感度分别为12英尺和8英尺+6英寸。在项目改造前，原始平面图中的厨房和位于公寓中间位置的客厅、洗手间和一个荒废的走廊处于一个相反的方向。新提出的平面图很好地利用了生活区的高天花板，并将厨房和浴室的位置进行调换，把公寓划分成三个独立但开放的功能区域：睡觉区、就餐区和生活区。尔在公寓的中心位置，一张大桌子可以舒适地容纳8个人，满足业主可以打造一个招待客人的公寓。

On one side, floor to ceiling cabinetry encompasses wardrobe, linen, and coat closet along with a seamlessly integrated Murphy bed. On the opposite side, the galley kitchen and a dual-entry bathroom allows for continuous circulation through the apartment—even when the Murphy bed is in its open position.

        在公寓的一边，落地细木工家具包括衣柜、亚麻布制品、与整体的Murphy床无缝连接的衣橱。而另外一边，有如画廊的厨房和一个双重入口的浴室可以让公寓形成一个连续的流通路径—即使Murphy床在它的打开状态。

The material palette is simple: luxe, chocolate toned walnut flooring set in a herringbone pattern grounds a white shell that alternates between flush lacquered cabinetry and plastered walls.  The galley kitchen combines both materials along with white terrazzo flooring that links the kitchen and bathroom.  The most private spaces in the apartment—the shower and bed niches—are rendered in the only materials with color.  A suite of silvers and blues are used when the body interacts with the space. Large format Blue de Savoie stone tiles line the shower and a custom royal blue upholstered headboard and liner envelopes the Murphy bed interior.
