Nestled into sloping topography, the design of this home allows privacy from the street while providing unique vistas throughout the house and to the surrounding hill country and downtown skyline. Layering rooms with each other as well as circulation galleries, insures seclusion while allowing stunning downtown views. The owners' goals of creating a home with a contemporary flow and finish while providing a warm setting for daily life was accomplished through mixing warm natural finishes such as stained wood with gray tones in concrete and local limestone. The home's program also hinged around using both passive and active green features. Sustainable elements include geothermal heating/cooling, rainwater harvesting, spray foam insulation, high efficiency glazing, recessing lower spaces into the hillside on the west side, and roof/overhang design to provide passive solar coverage of walls and windows. The resulting design is a sustainably balanced, visually pleasing home which reflects the lifestyle and needs of the clients. Photography by Andrew Pogue

Overview Dormer loft conversion. The Brief Our client wanted a master bedroom with lots of simple wardrobe space, a vanity area and bathroom. Our Solution We’ve enjoyed working on a loft or two over the years. In fact, we cut our teeth working with loft conversion company for many years – honing our understanding of the technical and spatial jigsaw of loft design. The aesthetic was for a crisp external treatment with feature glazing to bring in lots of light, use the view and avoid the ‘big ugly box’ syndrome that affects most loft design. We worked through several layout options before getting planning and building control in place for our client. An amazing parquet floor and well-placed bathroom furniture make this loft stand out, our client hopes to add a complementary ground floor extension in future to complete the overhaul of this 1930’s semi.

The 3rd floor studio apartment offered a great space for TBHCo designers to show how you can fit all you need into one space. Fully staged with custom furniture by the designers and styled to show how to utilize this great space.

Good design must reflect the personality of the client. So when siblings purchased studios in Downtown by Philippe Starck, one of the first buildings to herald the revitalization of Manhattan’s Financial District, the aim was to create environments that were truly bespoke. The brother’s tastes jibed synchronously with the insouciant idea of France’s most popular prankster converting a building that once housed the buttoned-up offices of JP Morgan Chase. His collection of Takashi Murakami works, the gallery-like centerpiece of the main area, announces his boldness and flair up front, as do furnishings by Droog, Moooi and, of course Starck, as well as hide rugs and upholstery, and a predominantly red palette. His sister was after something soothing and discreet. So Axis Mundi responded with a neutrals and used glass to carve out a bedroom surrounded by drapes that transform it into a golden cocoon. Hide (albeit less flamboyantly applied) evokes a familial commonality, and built-in furniture and cabinetry optimize space restrictions inherent in studio apartments.
