Fortytwelve
transformed the dark and underused basement of a traditional family residence
into a bright and spacious one-bedroom apartment. In response to the client's
desire for a home that feels like a hotel suite, the design features minimalist
spaces, high-quality finishes, and details more commonly found in refined
hospitality projects.
Inspired
by the original footprint of the building, fortytwelve organized the apartment
plan into three distinctly programmed bays separated by pocket doors. One bay accommodates
the bedroom and master bath, one for the living room and kitchen areas, and a
multipurpose bay provides space for an office, home gym, and utility room. New
single-pane floor-to-ceiling windows bring light deep into each bay from the
sunken entry terrace, which incorporates built-in planters and bench seating.
Microcement
floors, light oak finishes, and a soft grey marble contribute to the
apartment's modern, high-end sensibility, and almost every space includes
custom-made furnishings designed by fortytwelve. The open kitchen features
concealed cabinets, integrated flush-mounted appliances, and a large marble
island and backsplash. The same marble is used in the custom bathroom sinks, as
well as the office desk and bedroom nightstands, which complement the bespoke
fabric-and-marble headboard. Taking advantage of the basement location, a large
soaking tub is located in front of the bedroom's bay windows, offering a unique
view of the terrace garden.
