| SOHO DUPLEX
|
| ||
The most challenging aspect of this duplex SoHo apartment was that its long and relatively narrow shape made the space awkward and provided little natural light. Our initial priority was to make it comfortable to live in, but as the family grew, the development, beginning in 1983 and continuing into 2003, has been on-going and consists of four stages: 1) the renovation of the ground floor using bright colors and lighting to articulate the space, 2) the connection with a staircase to the apartment on the floor above, 3) the rebuilding of the study, which also serves as a guest bedroom, at the ground floor front, and 4) the recent renovation of the space under the staircase into a fantasy bedroom, complete with a circular window overlooking the neighboring garden, for a teenage daughter. The
apartment is now a four bedroom duplex, with four bathrooms, laundry, living room,
dining room/greenhouse and garden. | ||||
