Utopus Architecture: S/K Apartment Renovation - Located in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood, the renovation spans the top three floors of an 1855 townhouse. These were combined to create three open-plan spaces that are vertically integrated by a central staircase. The custom fabricated steel staircase climbs from the first floor's entertainment areas, through the private sleeping quarters of the second floor, to the meditative terraces on the third floor.
Utopus Architecture: S/K Apartment Renovation (continued) - Conceived as a quiet and secluded sanctuary, the master bedroom features a heavyweight curtain that runs the length of its north window bank; opposing dark-tinted mirrors that softly extend the room's depth; and discreet casework offering maximum storage space.
Utopus Architecture: JH Apartment Renovation - Built in 1936, the Wallace K. Harrison-designed Rockefeller Apartments is an emblematic modernist building adjacent to the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in New York City. Overlooking the museum’s sculpture garden, a tenth floor unit was re-designed as a pared-down pied-a-terre.
Utopus Architecture: JH Apartment Renovation (continued) - Absent of doors, a partition wall wraps around the apartment creating a vestibule as well as a framework for interior galleries that become sleeping, living, and kitchen areas. Opposite this wall, custom cabinetry seamlessly lines the inner perimeter of the apartment.
