Krolik originally planned a chandelier for the living room, but found that the Sugarcube provided enough overhead drama. "It became the focus of the apartment: a suspended gigantic light fixture," says architect Manuel Fernandez of Parsons + Fernandez-Casteleiro. The shell is made of sheets of polycarbonate bolted to a metal grid; pink fluorescent bulbs behind the Plexiglas create a mellow glow. Daisy's bedroom, with a bird's-eye view of the living room, is tucked inside. The staircase, made of oak pickled white, runs at a slight angle, opening the view into the living room. Krolik designed the stainless-steel oval visible at top. It swings out from her desk, at the head of the stairs, and works as both a decorative element and a railing.
