Full-Floor Duplex

Minimalist Duplex

A pared-back interior in continuous white plaster — recessed linear lighting, a floating vanity over dark stone, and structural columns rounded and finished flush.

Minimal interiors are unforgiving: with no mouldings to close a junction, every plane has to arrive true. The plaster here runs continuous through the apartment, with lighting recessed into a cove rather than surface-mounted, and niches formed in the wall build-up rather than applied to it.

The structural columns could not move, so they were rounded and finished flush into the ceiling — read as part of the room instead of an obstruction in it.

Scope of work

  • Continuous white plaster finish
  • Recessed cove and linear lighting
  • Formed wall niches and shelving
  • Rounded structural column casings
  • Floating vanity over dark stone
  • Dark hardwood flooring throughout
