Step into the Apartment of Superman – Colorful Zest Meets NYC Panache

ByMyProperty Life

Ever wanted to step into the home of Superman? No, we are not talking about his more secluded and otherworldly getaways. We want you to take a step into the less-talked about apartment of Clark Kent inside the Standish building in Brooklyn Heights. Early versions of the Superman comic had Clark Kent living on the fifth floor of this famed apartment and that is just where we find this revamped and reinvented home that was extensively improved by Matter. The new interior feels fresh, minimal and contemporary with white shaping the backdrop in every room.

Custom-made leather sofa by Matter created for the NYC apartment living room








In the living room a custom-made sofa in leather steals the show and a fabulous brass pendant hangs above. It is additions like the drapes in teal in the living room and the wall art pieces in the dining area and the bedroom that add color to an otherwise neutral space. In the dining room a fabulous wooden table that has tubular legs grabs your attention while marble is the material that shapes the kitchen surfaces and the backsplash. An even layer of ambient lighting ensures that there are no dark corners anywhere while the original, large windows add to the sense of spaciousness.

  • Add/Subtract House

    The Add/Subtract House is derived from the stereotomic operation of subtracting from and adding to a solid volume to enable specific programmatic relationships and daylight conditions. Sited on a typical 50’x150’ single-family residential lot in Austin, Texas, the design questions the standard house massing and arrangement by stretching along the length of the lot. Rather than single the dichotomy of front yard and backyard, the design establishes smaller courtyards, hardscapes and softscapes at various scales to relate to individual rooms. The external material palette (standing seam metal, tongue & groove wood paneling, and stucco) is applied to reinforce the distribution of individual program elements. Each material is composed into folding planes which capture space and define zones throughout the house. Every room in the house benefits from natural light from at least two sides as daylight is modulated throughout, offsetting the need for electric light during daylight hours and allowing occupants to more directly track seasonal and daily patterns.
