T his duplex apartment renovation combined two existing

one bedroom duplex units into one two bedroom duplex.

The client is a single mother with a young child. She was very

interested in having a healthy and environmentally friendly

renovation.

the existing stairs. The new stair starts as an extension of the

kitchen cabinets. The line of the drawers becomes the first

few steps of the stair. Above that the risers are glass to allow

more light into the kitchen area.

The master bedroom is conceived as a single space contain-

ing bathroom and sleeping functions. The vanity floats in the

middle of the space and doubles as the headboard and side

tables for the bed. The toilet and bath/shower are built into

the back wall of the space.

On the lower level we created a living space that spanned

the footprint of the two existing apartments along the exte-

rior wall. On the interior of the apartment, the separation

between the two units was maintained to create a kitchen

and powder room on one side and a master bedroom suite

on the other.

A wall of closets separates this master bedroom from the

kitchen. The bedroom has a glass partition that allows the

user to sleep in privacy; most of the time the bedroom is

open to the living room.

A deep wall of millwork on your left as you enter the apart-

ment contains man program elements and support functions.

The first part of this long wall is an entry closet with built in

seating and a shoe storage drawer. This helps keep dirt and

dust from entering the apartment and marks the entry into

the space. The wall them becomes part of the kitchen service

space with the refrigerator, ovens pantry space and addi-

tional kitchen storage all concealed behind the T panels. Past

this area the wall contains entertainment systems, games

and other living room storage. At the end of the run a bench

is cut out of the deep wall with overhead storage above that

also contains an automated drop down LCD TV that can be

remotely activated.

Upstairs we created a bedroom for the daughter and a guest

room which functions as a study/ playroom most of the

time. All of the storage is located behind full height sliding

glass partitions in the daughter’s bedroom. Full height glass

partitions and sliding glass doors are used to divide all of the

spaces on the upper floor while allowing for abundant natural

light and a sense of openness.

All materials were specified as low VOC materials, and har-

vested wood was used wherever possible. These included:

recycled denim insulation (ultratouch), recycled paper coun-

tertops (richlite), FSC certified hardwood floors, Low e glass

on all of the new exterior windows, Eco Spec paint (Benjamin

Moore), energy saver appliances, and felt on walls.

The kitchen is designed to be part of the living space with

walnut base cabinetry, Richlite countertops (recycled paper)

and satin etched glass upper cabinets to help reflect the

light from the windows directly across the apartment. This

borrowed light helps eliminate the need for lighting during

most of the day. A movable walnut and Richlite island allows

the owner to reconfigure the space for entertainment or

quite dinners with her daughter. The millwork was all locally

fabricated using low VOC and replenishable materials and

substrates. A new stair was created in the location of one of
