ARCHITECTURAL FOCUS
furniture including bespoke side tables and work tables with integrated lighting creates a warm and inviting study environment.
On the upper floor of the Head House, study carrels are set behind slatted screens adjoining a lounge space, where smaller groups can work together on creative projects.
The essence of this creative process is captured in archival photo frames depicting moments of collaboration and making.
The interiors for the 92 individual student apartments emphasize affordability, durability, and user experience, approaching communal living with a sense of warmth and levity. Solid whole woods and selected laminate surfaces are deployed across a range of modular furniture solutions. Bespoke lighting at different apartment levels references back to the design cues of the Modernists.
CIVILIAN worked with manufacturer Foliot to create a bespoke collection of residential pieces for the project. Dining tables with trumpet bases and solid tops paired with bespoke solid wood benches set off living areas with deep blue wool modular sofas and custom coffee tables. Student bedrooms feature bespoke laminate beds with integrated drawer storage, custom armoires, and desks.
The design response has been crafted with creative young people in mind: practical, yet tasteful and elevated in simplicity. The playful interiors contribute to Bard College’ s innovative living-learning atmosphere.
