Problem: In a dark closed plan with a centrally located elevator and stair core in a 4500 square foot prewar apartment overlooking the New York City Reservoir, open up the spaces to have a connection to the views and light.

问题：在一个黑暗的封闭计划中，一个位于中心位置的电梯和楼梯核心位于一个4500平方英尺的战前公寓，可以俯瞰纽约市水库，打开这些空间，让它与风景和灯光连接起来。

Solution: A white entry cube masks the central location of the existing elevator and stair core. A series of concentric layers of white lacquered millwork, floor to ceiling glass, and walnut cabinetry culminate in the spectacular views of New York’s Central Park, Reservoir and the Guggenheim Museum. Spaces have no beginning and no end as they appear to continue around the buildings core through layers of transparencies. A rich palette of materials transcends reductive minimalism to provide a juxtaposition of rich and refined materials defined by the presence of light.

解决方案：白色入口立方体遮住现有电梯和楼梯核心的中心位置。一系列同心圆的白色漆制磨坊、从地板到天花板的玻璃和胡桃木橱柜在纽约中央公园、水库和古根海姆博物馆的壮观景色中达到了顶峰。空间没有起点，也没有终点，因为它们似乎通过层层透光继续围绕着建筑物的核心。丰富的调色板的材料超越了还原极简主义，提供了丰富和精良的材料并列，定义了光的存在。
