Pied-à-Mer: Michael K. Chen Architecture’s aquatic apartment
Drawing on Le Corbusier’s interest in streamlined, mid 20th Century steamship design, the firm has completed the interior architecture of a 600 sq ft luxury apartment aboard a residential yacht in US waters.
The convertible layout of the apartment pulls from these concepts, enhanced by what Chen describes as a “streamlining and smoothening of its functional dimensions.” Movement, and the unfolding and concealing of different functional zones, is carefully choreographed. By elongating the path of circulation, the space appears to expand and compress as one moves around, ultimately appearing, and feeling, more spacious.
