A young couple with three small children purchased this full floor loft in Tribeca in need of a gut renovation. The existing apartment was plagued with awkward spaces, limited natural light and an outdated décor. It was also lacking the required third child’s bedroom desperately needed for their newly expanded family. StudioLAB aimed for a fluid open-plan layout in the larger public spaces while creating smaller, tighter quarters in the rear private spaces to satisfy the family’s programmatic wishes. 3 small children’s bedrooms were carved out of the rear lower level connected by a communal playroom and a shared kid’s bathroom. Upstairs, the master bedroom and master bathroom float above the kid’s rooms on a mezzanine accessed by a newly built staircase. Ample new storage was built underneath the staircase as an extension of the open kitchen and dining areas. A custom pull out drawer containing the food and water bowls was installed for the family’s two dogs to be hidden away out of site when not in use. All wall surfaces, existing and new, were limited to a bright but warm white finish to create a seamless integration in the ceiling and wall structures allowing the spatial progression of the space and sculptural quality of the midcentury modern furniture pieces and colorful original artwork, painted by the wife’s brother, to enhance the space. The existing tin ceiling was left in the living room to maximize ceiling heights and remain a reminder of the historical details of the original construction. A new central AC system was added with an exposed cylindrical duct running along the long living room wall. A small office nook was built next to the elevator tucked away to be out of site.

Accoya wood has been used to create cladding, windows, doors, decking and guttering in family home in Sweden. The home, which is located in the north of Stockholm has been designed by Kalle Lilja of local construction and joinery firm Rejal Bygg. Kalle wanted to create a luxury family home for the property market, which would push the boundaries of design and innovation and would require as little maintenance as possible. To deliver the project he turned to Sweden’s Accoya distributor, CEOS, and the company’s managing director Urban Stenevi. Together they decided to use Accoya for the project. Accoya met their build objective of delivering a property which required little maintenance, however Kalle was intrigued by Accoya and wanted to push it to its limits so he could realise the product’s full potential.
