Bedford Stuyvesant Townhouse
Residential
Complete 2023
Bedford Stuyvesant Townhouse is the result of a synergistic collaboration with an artist family, integrating their creative direction into our thoughtful renovation of their landmarked, traditional Brooklyn brownstone.
We centered our client’s artistic visions to realize a functional, yet expressive interior for their work and life. Guided by rich color choices of cobalt blues, emerald greens, and ochre, we selected materials and finishes that created continuous dialog between these palettes throughout the home. A soapstone kitchen features blue millwork cabinets, anchoring the open kitchen-dining area, whose refurbished wood floors evoke a sense of family-friendly un-preciousness.
We refreshed the classical plaster trim and crown molding throughout the home, modernizing it while honoring its structural history. Previously unused space beneath the stairwell transformed into a second powder room, while the designs of the rooms upstairs prioritize generative creativity. The layout of the children’s room, and its custom built-in storage solutions, were designed around a custom forest mural, which vibrantly sprawls one full wall. Also on the second level, an in-home studio was added, creating dedicated space for the homeowners to work and create.
