LA Vegetation - 2015

Point Supreme Architects, founded in Rotterdam in 2007 and now based in Athens, integrates research, architecture, urbanism, landscape and urban design. For their Nadja apartment renovation, the architects connected two floors with a bright yellow staircase, conceiving each level as opposing spatial experiences. The lower level is a continuous, “marine-like environment” with large pieces of furniture “anchoring the family’s communal activities like floating islands.” Instead of the typical division of rooms for kitchen, dining, living and playing, spaces in Nadja are flexible and look towards each other. The most central element is a complex construction featuring the stair, living room and kitchen cupboards, a glass display partition, a built-in plant pot, a blackboard and a pink sun rising towards upstairs. It is a miniature piece of architecture in itself providing a focal point within the large open plan. As studio co-founder Konstantinos Pantazis notes, “What is Postmodern in the apartment is mainly its diversity: the vivid juxtapositions, extensive use of colour and texture create an intense emotional and physical experience that is very non-Modern.” Point Supreme join over 100 architect, artists, and designers featuring work at the inaugural Chicago Architecture Biennial this October. 

Today I built a pair of desks using bamboo tops from IKEA and black Hairpin legs. Theres even a suspended cable tidy beneath each.
