A.
Located on the waterfront of Brooklyn, New York, this affordable artist unit looks to maximize density, lighting and views through curved forms and a 23’ tall window. Being a long and thin space it became evident that we needed to carry daylight as far back as possible. Although, reflectance was strongly considered, having a reading/painting space under the stairs and being the entrance to the bedroom. The curved glossy finished GFRC wall pulls light in well, while also casting light onto the white guardrail, ceiling, and wall. Having gaps between each stair tread would allow more daylight; however, we discovered the window on the second floor casts enough light down the stairs to give a pleasant transition up the stairs for the resident. The surface of the floor and stairs are the same smooth, but not glossy concrete tile. This attempt we felt was successful in carrying daylight back, but not having a blinding reflective surface.
