Concrete, Steel & Wood
The character of each space also varies dramatically based on the needs of these groups, reflect most of all in the remarkable material palette employed by designersTraditional dark-wood flooring contrasts with board-formed concrete walls that show off the features of the wooden frames used to make them. Black-painted steel beams and girders play off the classic white walls, both illuminated by expansive minimalist floor-to-ceiling windows. Simple and modern wood staircases are juxtaposed with decorative metal railings that could well be a century old. It would be an oversimplification to suggest a tie between these four primary materials (steel, concrete, wood & glass) and the four generations for which this residence was intended.
