Perfectly Choreographed

Educated at Pratt Institute and the Harvard University Graduate School of Design and trained at Herzog & de Meuron and Preston Scott Cohen, Re Moor previously performed with the Martha Graham Dance Company for a spell. And the idea of movement is clearly key for the New York apartment. By modestly fine-tuning the layout, he was able to improve its proportions significantly.
The main room still incorporates living and dining areas and an open kitchen, but he gave the latter some definition by adding a tiny island. More important, he zeroed in on what he terms a "dysfunctional" short corridor that led to the bedroom by passing between the bathroom and side-byside closets with awkward pivot doors. Ripping out those closets and building new ones on the bedroom's blank end wall accomplished a double objective: squaring off the room's bowlingalley proportions and widening the corridor enough to create a place for Architecture in the form of an office alcove.
