Creative Wall Decoration
Here is a small loft apartment design in Brooklyn with a creative wall decoration that consists of 25,000 ping pong balls. The visual effect was that the walls looked “pixelated” and changing the image to the intent seems successful, especially as the walls fade from white to gray and back, creating a certain feeling of movement Daniel Arsham, the inhabitant of this small loft apartment design wanted to take his passion to another level or was just looking for a creative ways to decorate the walls of his current crib.There are no less than 25000 ping pong balls decorating this 90 square foot Brooklyn apartment,which in consequence has an interesting “pixelated” effect.
The small loft is located above the offices of Snarkitecture, the architecture company towards which Daniel climbs down the stairs in order to go to work: The place is a study in simplicity. Arsham’s got a bed with some built-in shelves and a dresser, where he keeps a few clothes. To enter the loft, he climbs a ladder through the office’s employee bathroom. This is definitely not a design for the masses. But when it comes to applying it to bachelor’s den, it couldn’t be more inspired.
A pied-à-terre as permanent residence, Box/Box is an apartment for Snarkitecture partner Daniel Arsham. A 90 square foot loft apartment contained within a larger 2,500 square foot collaborative workspace, the project was conceived as an accelerated design/build experiment and was completed within a two-month period at a cost of less than $100 per square foot. The selected site is an existing storage loft onto which the volume of the small loft apartment sits like a gift balanced on a high shelf. Enclosed within this volume is a simple and economical program: a space for sleeping and dressing.
A ladder at ground level leads upwards through a hatch concealed in the floor, entering a treehouse-like residence consisting of only a closet and a bed. A gradient of 25,000 spheres clad the walls, moving from dark to light as they meet the illuminated grid of the ceiling, made of translucent panels that reveal a hidden grid of spheres when backlit. This luminous ceiling, the skylight and the facing mirrors on opposite walls brighten and expand the room to create an illusory space that appears more expansive than actual size.
