East River Loft

Located in a modernist residential tower overlooking the East River in New York City, this project involved the transformation of a one-bedroom apartment into an open, light-filled living space that maintains privacy without sacrificing its connection to the surrounding views. The design uses sculptural, curving translucent resin panels to define spaces and create separation without the need for interior doors. Inspired by the flow of the river below, the panels guide views toward the water while providing privacy throughout the apartment. Custom-fabricated using computer-aided manufacturing, the resin panels and cabinetry were prefabricated to accommodate the building’s limited construction schedule. A restrained palette of walnut floors and cabinetry, figured sycamore accents, and limestone bathroom finishes creates a warm and understated interior.
