17th Street Apartment, New York City, United States. Architect: IdS/R, 2012. Detail of clothing cupboard.

---

The apartment is 1300 sqft. It is on the top floor of a co-op on W. 17th Street. The owners have been living in it for 6 years. Both collect art and their collection is very personal. The apartment design was influenced by some of the larger pieces in their collection. Once the construction was substantially complete the architects stopped by for an art hanging session. The design concept is based on the nearly square perimeter shape of the apartment.  A black cube is placed, floating, in the floor plan, creating living space within and without the black volume.  Additional volumes like the black granite kitchen island continue to define an open living.
