The spaces and buildings surrounding Central Park take on the colors of the seasons as expressed in the foliage during the day and the colors of the sky in the early morning and evening. By utilizing highly lacquered surfaces above and below windows, introducing vertical etched glass panels and polished corrugated metal partitions and suspending translucent plastic ceiling panels, P+FC was able to extend and amplify the quality of natural light into and throughout the major spaces of the residence. All internal walls defining habitable spaces were removed and new partitions of rotating translucent glass panels and motor operated double lined drapes were introduced to dematerialize the physical boundaries between functions and maximize the flexibility of living arrangements required of a bachelor in New York.
