The Vanderbilt apartment is a stunning project within a building designed by COOKFOX, known for their philosophy of “pulling in nature at all scales for the health and well-being of its residents.” The resident, a frequent world traveler, needed a space that is both peaceful and calming. This aligns perfectly with COOKFOX’s focus on user well-being in their interior design.
Design Philosophy
To create a tranquil and utopian atmosphere, the design team chose soft, neutral colors. This choice allows the artwork and greenery to take center stage. The minimalistic approach encourages the user to engage with each unique piece, while gentle curves guide movement through the space, enhancing the sense of calm and serenity.
Key Elements
- Soft and Neutral Palette: The use of soft and neutral colors creates a peaceful environment.
- Artwork and Greenery: Positioned as focal points, they bring a touch of nature and visual interest.
- Minimalistic Design: A simpler design approach ensures that the space is not overwhelming, promoting relaxation.
- Curved Elements: Curves are used strategically to lead the viewer gently through the apartment, adding to the dreamy feel.
Conclusion
The Vanderbilt apartment by COOKFOX is a perfect example of a design that prioritizes the well-being of its residents. By incorporating natural elements, a minimalistic aesthetic, and thoughtful design choices, the space offers a peaceful retreat for its frequent-traveling resident.
