A young family approached General Assembly to help them combine two apartments in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn. They hoped to create what felt more like a home than a small New York apartment.

Opening up the living room to the rear patio created an extension of the living space and allowed for more light to enter the enlarged kitchen dining area.

In order to reflect some of the feel of the surrounding neighborhood into their home, we decided to use several light fixtures, wallpaper and tiles that were made by local designers in the renovation.
