Located in an Art Deco hotel recently converted for
private condominium use, we designed a penthouse apartment with a roof deck
overlooking the center of downtown Omaha. For the L-shaped unit we created a
set of nested spaces with a grand room that appears as an exterior within the
confines of the dense walls. 15-foot ceilings allowed the construction of a
cozy mezzanine along the vertical path to the private roof deck above. Primary
wood veneered walls hide bedrooms, house utilitarian areas, service functions
and bathrooms. The wood has been CNC milled to form railings and light shields
embedded within the walls. Recycled wood flooring and Douglas Fir wood tiles
contrast with the smooth wood veneer walls.
