New York City
1984

A warren of small rooms was removed to reveal a sweep of Riv Vu. A color-charged stepping wall opens up to light at the Vu end and closes down at the more private bedroom spaces. 

Maximum advantage is made of available space, light, and view, with minimum surface decoration and inexpensive finishes. Peep holes mark all doors. Etched glass doors of a wishful Central Park Vu firmly locate the apartment between the Westside's major amenities, the river and the park. 

The client's simple, modern tastes and the available natural resources made the big moves the most important.
