apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

The client was a recently-divorced dad who wanted to make his two daughters their own space in his one-bedroom apartment. The unit is made of six Expedit shelves that are stacked three high and bolted together. The L-shape keeps the unit steady and entirely independent. Wrapped in corrugated plastic, the Lumens unit lets light pass (and produces an attractive glow) and provides tons of storage!

We like how the striped wall of the living room corresponds to the three stacked Expedit units. The architect kept the color scheme neutral and light to promote unity in the small space. There is a PDF of Frederick's plans and design process, with more photos. Check out the full article at Time Out New York: House call: Design-conscious dad.
