Edgewater Flat


Completed 

Location: Edgewater, NJ

Size: 900 SF

Team: Lindsey Wikstrom, Jean Suh


Rooted in her childhood memories of traditional natural materials of the Korean Hanok, the client’s lifelong passion for design comes to life in this refreshed modern apartment. Drawing from the past while embracing the future, the space is defined by a tactile richness—where patterns, materials, and architectural rhythms reflect a deep cultural sensibility.

At the heart of the home is a light-filtering wood screen that gently delineate public and private zones. More than functional dividers, they invite warmth and quiet intimacy into the space. Their presence is a deliberate homage to the Hanok, where timber served both structural and decorative purposes, shaping the mood of everyday life.

Ethically sourced and locally fabricated white oak underscores the project’s commitment to environmental stewardship and local craft. Chosen for both its grain and integrity, the material ties together a palette that is understated yet deeply intentional. In a world that demands fluidity, the apartment offers a grounded sense of place that’s attuned to the rhythms of modern life.
