The fully-redesigned penthouse apartment takes over the third floor and expands upward via a COR-TEN box. The project slowly unfolds from a black bedroom on the lower level to white living room on the upper level. Monolith Table (2012)A timeless piece that gets better with age and wear; constructed of solid wood to last a thousand years. All too often, the pairing of a dining table with chairs is not fully considered. Monolith Table, however, is conceived as a singular block. When not in use the chair, bench and throne are tucked underneath the table leaving a singular eroded mass. It is a functional, interpretation of the monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey.Ceiling Texture (2010)A weekend home for a New York City-couple, the project involved opening the back of the house to the lake and installing oversize custom wood windows. To integrate the new window wall into the large living/dining space, a serial wood lining radiates from the window head into the cavernous space. Show less
