Volumetric forms appear in the ways in which the bed’s headboard seamlessly slides into a void that’s repeated in a solid built-in desk across the room; in the sculptural flow of the marble kitchen countertop; in the placement of a Martin Puryear sculpture, courtesy of the John Berggruen Gallery, perched at the end of a long hallway whose walls can be slid open or tightly closed, creating either a fluid sensibility or one of safety and enclosure.
