A two story condo in Boston’s South End is being completely redesigned to create a more modern, and functional space. The lower level of the condo consists of the main living spaces (kitchen, dining, and living room), while the upper level includes two bedrooms as well as two new bathrooms. A stair connecting the two floors also leads up to a roof deck.
The overall concept which unifies the all spaces on both levels, is a “Ribbon” which wraps walls, soffits, and built-in cabinetry and winds it’s way throughout both the lower and upper level. At the stair, the smooth “Ribbon” materials stretches and becomes a more textured, vertical cladding to differentiate from the horizontal spaces, as well as accentuate the verticality of the stair as it leads one up to a new skylight and roof deck.
