David Hotson Architect

Based in New York, David Hotson Architect creates spatial environments defined by monochrome surfaces, continuous folded planes, and layered optical depth achieved through precise sightline cutouts and reflective geometries. The work offers a strong reference when detailing suspended helical circulation, framing contextual landmarks through structural apertures, or organizing light within multi-level sacred and residential interiors.

Looking down a multi-level white interior void with glass railings and a person walking on a suspended bridge by David Hotson Architect.

Looking down a multi-level white interior void with glass railings and

An exceptional interior precedent for multi-level vertical voids utilizing stark white surfaces and glass bridges to maximize light transmission and spatial drama.

What we like about this project
The overhead perspective flattens the multi-level depth into an abstract geometric composition.

Geometry
Strictly orthogonal multi-level vertical void framed by crisp white planes and angled glass balustrades creating dynamic diagonal cuts across the plan.
Structural guess
Steel frame with suspended floor plates and glass balustrades acting as light barriers.
Spatial scale
Multi-story vertical volume with a person on a suspended bridge providing immediate human scale.
Lighting
Bright, even ambient illumination reflecting off high-gloss white surfaces, minimizing hard shadows and maximizing luminosity.
Atmosphere
Pristine, ethereal, and weightless, dominated by absolute white and reflective glass.
Environmental context
Interior residential or commercial atrium with completely clean, minimalist white finishes.
Spatial experience
A dizzying, high-contrast vertical journey where suspended walkways cross open air, creating dramatic visual connections between multiple stories.
Composition rhythm
Diagonal glass guardrails slice across stacked white floor plates in a geometric grid.

Ultra-minimalist contemporary interior
