A primed pine interior subtly frames each window opening. The light material palette in the home contributes to a sense its airiness. Local maple planks on the floor have been cut to shorter lengths and laid perpendicular to the view, giving it a fluid effect. A camouflaged hatch door leads to the basement level, which acts as a storage and laundry area.
Living in a house without a kitchen required some patience on Lewis’s part, but she relished the process and kept her readership updated with progress photos. The collage above reveals where the Signature Kitchen Suite appliances go. “I’m especially excited for the 30” range—with its ProHeat™ Convection, I’ll get balanced and even cooking when I’m whipping up a gourmet meal,” Lewis writes.
The kitchen mood board features a unified palette of warm beige, gray, and white; the matte black faucet topping the sink and oil-rubbed bronze cabinet hardware provide a stark contrast. Against this backdrop, stainless steel appliances by Signature Kitchen Suite offer a material and chromatic departure. “Tell me that’s not the swankiest range you’ve ever laid your eyes on!” writes Lewis.
After successfully reconfiguring his own tiny New York City apartment, Robert Garneau, partner at Architecture Workshop PC, reinvented a 400-square-foot studio for neighbors just a few floors down. Called the Pivot Apartment, the highly efficient residence now serves multiple functions, thanks to a central modular unit that can be arranged to create distinct stations for living, sleeping, and entertaining.
