Whenever I come back to New York after a long vacation, I tend to suffer from post-vacation blues. The one thing that’s sure to pull you out of the doldrums is the successful presentation of a really exciting job. Just last week we presented our renderings of an apartment in the Chelsea area of Manhattan – one of the newer buildings with great architectural details and a great sense of drama, with views and great scale of spaces.
Like I usually do, I tried to bring a new nuance to it. The client is a single guy who wanted a sense of drama while giving the space a sense of longevity and some comfort and warmth. I think we achieved that. One of the elements that we did was a 9′ square quadrant of stainless steel, which is a different version of the leaning mirror. We did upholstered suade walls as a headboard in the master bedroom and in the end I think it’s a really ‘wow’ space.
Here is one of the renderings we did for the job – I hope to show you the final, published pictures in the near future!
P.S. He loved it and wanted to proceed immediately. A refreshing approach after presentation.

Congrats on your new project! It’s always nice when they say “I want to go ahead” right away. Look forward to seeing the end result.

I find that a good rendering can do that. Yours is superb. Congrats on moving forward!
Best,

Vicente – It’s a very handsome space with just the right balance of quiet and drama. The upholstered headboard is very effective and I like the reading chair and ottoman by the windows. The window pattern seems perfectly suited to this bedroom layout, which speaks to the foresight of the architect. I really like the gentle wide angle of the rendering showing the wall opposite the bed. Are renderings a design tool for you, or just for presentation? The drawing speaks for itself, but I’m sure your presentation is the secret ingredient. Congratulations. – Gary

I can’t wait for the pictures, especially to see the stainless steel square (where is it? I can’t see it). Just saw Cloud Gate Dance Taiwanese company in Vancouver (part of the Cultural Olympiad) and I was mesmerized by their talent and the scenography with big squares of steel reflecting their dance. This bedroom will be fantastic.

Is the headboard stand alone or adhered to the wall?

Motherhubbard – the headboard is mounted to the wall and upholstered in suede.
