residence in verdun — hero

residence in verdun, 2011

a city apartment composed as one continuous, pared back volume, where light falls from concealed fixtures and settles evenly across the rooms. a white fireplace anchors the living space, less a source of heat than a still, bright mass the eye returns to, set against walls carrying bold, abstract art. green accents and clear surfaces mark the passage from one room to the next, each opening onto a glimpse of the one beyond. above, the roof gives the city back to the apartment, white modular seating laid against the skyline, a metal sculpture standing in silhouette, an outdoor hearth holding the edge of the terrace. the design keeps to essentials and lets the city supply the rest.
