Jackson Heights Apartment

This apartment renovation in Jackson Heights, Queens, features a multifunctional wall that connects and separates spaces with sliding and folding panels. The wall creates dynamic relationships between different areas, allowing the apartment’s living spaces to flow together or close off as needed. The design unites two previously separate apartments into a continuous, flexible living space.

A long multifunctional wall is the centerpiece of this apartment renovation for a family in the Jackson Heights neighborhood of Queens, New York. The wall makes its way through a variety of spaces, creating a loose set of relationships. Panels slide and fold to variously connect and (momentarily) separate different areas within the apartment.
