By building a 1x6 tongue-and-groove headboard right into the space, Krauth was able to accommodate a California king-size bed. The mobile is from ABC Carpet & Home in New York.

 In the bedroom, a modern version of a wingback chair is decked out in white cotton twill with a custom brown mohair seat cushion. - and framed image of blue print - LOVE.

can i make this?

Adding a rich pop of color to the living area is an antique map that homeowner George Krauth had been holding onto for ages, but never had just the right spot for. To double the drama, he ordered a shade for the nearby floor lamp in the exact same turquoise color. 

 Upon moving into his new residence, Krauth did little more in the kitchen than to replace the appliances, hardware and countertops, and add a backsplash of glazed brick from Waterworks. A once-nondescript storage piece was given a coat of automobile primer and topped with cut-to-fit marble, transforming it into a handsome—and handy—bar. 

 Found in a Chattanooga salvage store, this wooden bench—securely attached to the wall—is equally adept at providing seating or storage.

thesis

i have been meaning to post my thesis on the blog 

for quite some time now -

here are the details - I designed a 300,000 sq/ft recreational facility/medical center/sleep-away camp.  The camp is for children who are faced with life threatening and chronic illnesses, Many of these children would not have the opportunity to have a camping experience due to their illness.  Inspired by Paul Newman and "Hole in the Wall Camps," - Big Apple Camp seeks to reach beyond illness, to inspire children with life-threatening diseases to become their greater selves. The mission to provide a year-round, life-changing environment for these children and their families - one that allows children to participate in an authentic camp experience by supporting their medical needs, and offers their families care, education, and respite.  In my design I leveraged biophilic and green design principles across the urban center to promote sustainability and a healthy environment for the children.

 the location i chose was Pier 57 at W. 15th St

 via arch daily

Reclaimed Douglas fir was used at the partitions, entry wall, and cantilevered stair. Workstation counters are recycled paperstone. Cork tile was used in the conference area, bathroom, and kitchenette. No VOC paints were selected for all walls and ceilings. Energy efficient fixtures were selected and instead of a traditional HVAC system, each workstation has an independently controlled radiator. The focus of the space is a living wall of mixed plants that takes filtration a step further.

 The foyer in Andrea Stern and Ken DiPaola’s apartment is anchored by a lacquered wood, shagreen, and bronze credenza designed by DiPaola; the photograph is by Salif Keita.

 The main hallway features the same Scalamandré turquoise grasscloth wallcovering as the foyer, a chair with a seat upholstered in a calfskin from Edelman Leather, and a baroque gilt mirror.

 A Dunbar sofa in the living room, one of a pair, is covered in a linen velvet from Pollack. The grasscloth wallcovering is from Larsen and the 1950s Italian brass and glass light fixture is from John Salibello Antiques.

 DiPaola designed the bronze and walnut dining table and the steel and leather bookcase; the Wormley dining chairs, covered in a silk mohair from Coraggio, are a find from Lost City Arts. The nickel-plated steel chandelier is from Jean de Merry. The photograph is by Massimo Vitali.

 Unfinished-brass fixtures from Urban Archaeology and Ann Sacks tiles lend a sophisticated air in the master bath; the towels are by Waterworks.

 The custom bedspread in the master bedroom is a silk damask from Scalamandré; the hand-glazed wallpaper is by SJW Studios. The leopard chests are from Palazzetti.
