The loft is a long and narrow 2200 square foot space with its entry in the middle of the west wall, at one of its narrow ends. Nineteen windows are spread across the north, south and east walls. Being on the eleventh floor in a neighborhood of mostly six-story buildings, the loft has beautiful views in virtually every direction, and wonderful light.

The program called for four bedrooms, two bathrooms, an acoustically insolated music room, a kitchen, a utility room, a dining area and a large open "playroom". The location of the entry adjacent to the only wet wall at one end of the narrow space dictated the arrangement of the bathrooms and bedrooms along a double-loaded corridor leading from the entry to the open areas to the east. Our proposal was to make the corridor into a space in its own right. The bedrooms, bathrooms, utility room and music room are consolidated into two curvilinear volumes hugging the north and south walls. The rest of the loft remains open. The corridor between the north and south volumes is designed to attenuate movement and pace the discovery of the open spaces to the east.

The light fixture in the corridor consists of 33 bare bulbs hanging in a straight line parallel to the direction of movements. The layout of the cabling for the light follows curvilinear paths is in resonance with the corridor walls. Diffuse daylight enters through the clerestories recessed above the curvilinear walls.

The main bathroom is designed entirely of colored Plexiglas. Daylight coming in through the south-facing window makes the material and the bright colors glow. In the evening light is provided by columnar lights with lenses of Plexiglas and laminated stripes of color. The curving lines of the elliptical pink shower, the green sink, the bathtub and the light columns all flow into one another, the light columns forming the transitions between the other elements in the bathroom.
