Green Apartment
Matthew Blesso entrepreneur buys this penthouse apartment (288 square meters) in Manhattan in 2006. about $ 4 million. But then does a standard repair, but provide it in the hands of two professors from Yale – the architect Joel Sanders and the landscape designer Diana Balmori. They teach discipline to the integration of architecture and landscape design called Interface. Their task is to introduce ideas and create a roof garden, which, however, is rife in the interior, combining vigorous vegetation and drip irrigation with custom furniture and flooring. Carry it with several designers and … $ 1 million. The project goes through ups and downs a lot. For example the owner wished the garden at the base of the stairs to a patio, surrounded by glass and an open top. But it would require the installation of drainage system for rainwater. The pipes would have occupied too much space and detract from the height of the premises, which has already been reduced because of the climate system. It is therefore refused, however, an alternative solution is not bad at all. Built over the stairs, starting from the garden dratsena / dracaena /, shed looks very spectacular and adds an additional level in the roof garden. It planted vegetation types, including 2 types of mint, which Blesso used for cocktails, which makes its guests. The roof is open to the views of Manhattan, Brooklyn and Williamsburg bridges. On the second level is situated on a corner for relaxation with comfortable furniture and a bar. The right of the door, right next to the stairs to the second level is not what it is, a shower! Yes, the man was swimming out into the sky and there is no wall or cubicle. Interesting things that do not end penthouse apartment with roof garden, and start with it. Actually it is covering, because the cover and interior parts and is an integral part of the interior. For example one of the walls in the bathroom is covered with plants located in the panels with drip irrigation, growing around the mirror. I would love to brush my teeth before this mirror. Here, designers have had few problems because the leaves of the plant were originally planted congestion sink. A wooden sink fits perfectly in this picture design. Other sinks are made from panels of synthetic stone and the water flows down from them to drain in the floor. It is covered with cork tiles. Continue with the next impressive thing – the doors and walls. In practice, these almost none. Few walls in the apartments are mostly glass. For example the main bedroom is separated by glass partitions and is visible from other parts of the housing. But the touch of a button can be placed Curtain. This is one of the coolest dishes haytek controlling visibility. Wall between living room and corner for relaxation is also glass and is made up of sliding panels. One part of the decoration makes a strong impression – very big, beautiful graphite starting from the hallway and continued to the living room. Case is a graffiti artist Doze Green and submit a mood, color and originality in the home. Overall, the furniture in this apartment leave me breathless. Chairs, couches, tables in combination with carpet and parquet. Do it for massive bed. Naturally they are all design and significantly contributed to the transformation a million USD price of housing. The edge rest is covered with something like a mattress to completely relax as you go into it before to relax on the couch. The kitchen table is made from stem nut. Part of it served to make and stools. The idea for this apartment is great. Such is the price. Greenery on the roof penetrating inside the house, tree, spacious interior decoration. Did everything I think is perfect. Well, some things are missing in the interior, which would gave more comfort and identity, but overall I like the apartment much.
