Between Structure and Furniture, Boston

The project starts with a fundamental question about dwelling: space dimensions for human living. This apartment is in a warehouse building originally built for industrial use in early 2oth century. The 30-ft x 55-ft floor with a 14.5-ft ceiling causes a problem of disproportion of human scale. The proposed design is a 550 square feet mezzanine against inside wall of the apartment to create smaller comfortable cozy dwelling cells within the huge shoe-box space.

Those 10-ft tall warehouse windows cause another problem of excessive natural light. The direct sunlight essentially brightens up almost every inch of the space. The invasive brightness troubles as much as extreme openness and height of the space. We expose rough framing skeleton and fill in voids with glass panels that allow natural light fingering into the clustered tiny boxy spaces. The white skeleton wood studs blend in with the apartment resembling built-in furniture within this out-of-scale warehouse apartment.
