Taylor apartment
Article Abstract:
Art dealer Frederieke Taylor decided to move into a highrise apartment in New York, NY, for the spectacular views that it offers. She commissioned Henry Smith-Miller and Laurie Hawkinson to transform four cramped rows of apartment units into one living area where space will seem abundant. To give an illusion of space, the designers had to strip away room divisions and other nonstructural elements, make the low ceiling look higher by inserting an angled soffit and raising the level of the existing floor by laying a new subfloor on top.
