Modular Screen is a space-defining system of perforated panels.Comprised primarily of a series of four panel types, which have been CNC milled in polyethylene, the system allows the pieces to overlap in a number of configurations. The result is a flexible hanging partition in which the layering of individual pieces de-emphasizes its modular nature.
Hanover Square LoftNew York, New York

The partial renovation of this 1,000 square foot loft in lower Manhattan included the design of a new stair from the main floor to an existing mezzanine, and a bridge connecting the mezzanine to a new child's sleeping alcove above an existing bathroom. A custom modular screen system was used to form the exterior railing of the stair, and the walls and sliding door of the sleeping alcove. The screen system is comprised of a series CNC milled panels, designed to de-emphasize the individual panel when the pieces are assembled together.
