IAH No. 7 — Bleeker Street — (New York, USA)

The Bleecker street penthouse was sold as a total concept through the Raphael De Niro group.

I redesigned this 330 m2 New York penthouse as an apartment-installation and entertainment space to be enjoyed in the company of others.

The space had an open New York architecture which gave a lot of freedom to play with art and yet remained utilitarian.

Long 30x220 cm benches were added to present large works of art, and small libraries were built to accommodate smaller works of the Roses and Cauliflowers series. A wall was built perpendicularly into a window on the south to accommodate a larger red painting with steel insertion referring to sunsets. The wall had another small window separating it from the ceiling and so the viewer could have a glimpse towards the west through this small window above the painting.
