NEW YORK, Dec. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- New York
City-based designer and Founder of Kim Depole Design, Kim Depole, brings together an eclectic mix of
experience and fine art through revolutionary interior design
technique in The Modern. Towering at 47 stories, The Modern is a
450-unit rental in Fort Lee, NJ,
with breathtaking views of the George Washington Bridge that, as
described in a recent New York
Times article, "transforms the New York skyline."
Fascinated by the use of reflection off the building's glass
surface Depole continued this motif throughout the interior space,
selecting materials with an inherent luminous quality for
everything from the tiling to the award winning cafe table in the
lounge, which was recently featured in Interior Design
Magazine. The result is an intricate aesthetic reflecting the
outdoors throughout, from the elements of water, wood and metal, to
the unobstructed views of the Manhattan skyline.
Upon entering The Modern, future residents are welcomed into a
dynamic sales office, adorned with tones borrowed from the
reflective surfaces of The George Washington Bridge. Kim
Depole Design created this space in partnership with The Marketing
Directors Group and Elkus Manfredi Architects by combining 3
apartments to form a meeting room, 5 offices, and 3 interactive
displays. The seating was custom designed with dynamic curves to
accent the high-fashion photographs papering the walls.
SJP Properties worked closely with Kim Depole Design in
conceptualizing several of the common areas and residences. Each of
the three model residences were created around a specific profile
to welcome a variety of lifestyles, telling the story of life in a
beautiful space and presenting options for discovery for the
renters who visit.
This same transformative feeling is achieved in the amenity
spaces. For the "Always Sunny Playspace" Kim Depole Design adopted
a Swedish design aesthetic to give the feeling of being outside.
The gorgeous modern garden brings together elements of nature and
education in a dream-like oasis that provides a space for children
to create without the distraction of technology or a single TV.
The Aquapella Lounge was inspired by a postcard picturing a man
climbing up a ladder in a swimming pool while wearing a dress
suite. The celling depicts swimmers at the pool's surface, and the
affect is perfected in its attention to detail, from the "No
Diving" and "No Lifeguard on Duty" signs decorating the walls, to
the retro bathing caps that Kim Depole Design sourced and
transformed into throw pillows for the couches.
Jeff Brosk's ebony carving of an
aerial view of the Hudson River is prominently on display in the
fifth floor lounge, the essence of which is brought out by the
cerused oak walls and wood grained carpet. The room's innate
elegance is balanced by the Roll and Hill branch light fixture, the
"Time to Lounge" pillows, and the one of a kind cantilever pool
table created by the Mitchell Family and made from zebra wood and
finished metal. The custom upholstery, by craftsman Angel Naula,
and the Knoll chairs offer seating for dining, watching TV, or
enjoying conversation. The walls are a Kim Depole Design Signature,
achieved through layering veniziano, an ancient Italian decorative
technique that captures the exquisite light that enters the space
at dusk.
The historic 75,000 square feet of amenity spaces extends well
beyond the interior walls to create a new landmark for New Jersey.
