Flexible Spaces for Urban Dwellers - Manhattan, NY This family needed to have their living space redesigned to accommodate their changing lifestyle and be a sustainable, green design for healthier space to live in. In addition to the typical needs for living and sleeping spaces, the family wanted to have a space dedicated for office and guest room use. The apartment renovation designed allowed for a space off the living area which could accommodate office furniture and a day bed. This office/guest room combination had the flexibility to be open and be an integral yet defined part of the living space, or closed off to offer privacy to houseguests.
