Draper & Huff Residence is an interior retrofit project (2,500 sq. ft.) completed in Detroit’s Brush Park neighborhood. We began this project by asking how do we provide the inhabitants with multiple experiences within the multi-story townhouse?
By defining zones into communal, intimate, reflection and spiritual/ healing we were able to imagine the use of space as transitional: day to night. An emphasis was placed on including art, music, culture, and environment.
Ground floor: Communal space in which to socialize, envisioned as a moody, casual and welcoming space.
2nd floor: Envisioned as a space to be surrounded by friends and family for support in communal areas flooded with natural light.
3rd floor: Private space, personal space reserved for time to reflect alone, day beds concept.
4th floor: Created safe, healing spaces that foster hope and improve outlook. meditation, yoga and spiritual healing.
Along with client, finishes, furniture, paint colors, wall paneling, and drapery was selected. Custom millwork was designed to provide additional support in each space.
