Lightweight elegance, 86th St multi-unit residential building embraces high-end design through a soft, serene palette and refined materiality. This project introduces a material inspired by many Japanese designs – Washi Paper. This material offers quiet elegance and a lightweight effect to the vertical surface. Clean lines, warm wood tones, and sculptural lighting define the lobby, while the business center features natural light and custom seating framed by organic finishes. A moody lounge contrasts with layered lighting and a two-toned kitchen, offering a more intimate atmosphere. The overall aesthetic is calm, sophisticated, and thoughtfully minimalist.
