Cornelia Street Suite

Cornelia Street Suite is a minimalist apartment located in New York, New York, designed by Magdalena Keck. Featuring an adaptable living space, the suite employs a pair of grand sliding panels to lend versatility to the environment, where bedroom and bath can morph from united to separate realms at the resident’s discretion. The selection of materials is distinctly refined and cohesive, relying on monochromatic shades and tactile richness. Stripping away the excess, the suite adheres to a muted yet inviting palette comprising honed travertine, pristine white oak, stainless steel, and a touch of white paint. The bathroom is an embodiment of meticulous design, with the floor to ceiling stone encapsulating not only the atmosphere but also integrating the sinks and the shower within its realm. To continue the seamless aesthetic, full-height doors and cabinets are designed frameless and flush, emulating the color and texture of their adjacent counterparts.

The white oak bathtub provides a focal point, hinting at the sacred rituals of bathing, and sits as a counterpoint to a tactile, Swedish milking stool hailing from the 1970s. The unbroken flow of the oak flooring, punctuated by integrated wood steps and radiator grills, results in an aesthetically harmonious junction between the suite’s spaces. This unity is further bolstered by the architectural lighting, subtly reinforcing the space’s minimalist underpinnings. For plumbing fittings, the choice was influenced by their structural simplicity and material warmth, with designs by John Pawson being the chosen vessels. Mario Botta’s wall lights from the 1980s grace the cantilevered oak nightstand drawers, contributing to the suite’s timeless design narrative that venerates the beauty of form and material.
