What was once a tiny, awkward apartment at the top of a six-story building is now a multilevel, functional home. The existing apartment had only 425 square feet of floor area but a height of over 24 feet. By utilizing this height, we created a flowing, platformed interior while maintaining open, vertical space. The strategy was to create four stacked and interleaved “living platforms.” First is the living area, then a slightly elevated kitchen with an ultra-compact bath tucked under the stairs. These stairs lead to a platform bedroom with a cantilevered bed hovering over the main living space.
