**★★★★★ — Kirstin Wolfe, Sept. 2017**

> Bren designed my dental office. She was so easy to work with. She is an artist and highly knowledgeable and organized. She listened closely to my, very specific, needs and then lead me through the design process that was so foreign to me. She created a space that is utilitarian, soothing, beautiful, modern and timeless.

**★★★★★ — Heather Borstein, Sept. 2017**

> Working with Bren has been amazing.  She swiftly responds to all emails, texts and phone calls.
> She does a great job of incorporating all of my ideas while not sacrificing style and remains extremely aware of budget.  She has a great aesthetic.

## Selected projects

- [Brooklyn Townhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/brooklyn-townhouse-pj-vj~2712916)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 9
  - Description: Clean lines, light colors, and soft patterns make the interior of this brownstone feel like an open loft. Colorful furnishings and dark accents in metal, stone, and wood compliment the soft color palette. Natural light floods the whole house through skylights and full-width glass doors.
- [Master Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/master-bath-pj-vj~2702526)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 6
  - Description: This master bath was designed as a relaxing retreat from the city. The heavy stone, monochromatic color palette, and teak accents recreate the experience of the bathhouse within the home.
- [Kids Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kids-bath-pj-vj~2712936)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 3
  - Description: The clients for this kids bath wanted something fun and modern for their two young children. Colorful cement tile provides the fun, while the stacked subway tile, shadow reveal, millwork, and accessories provide the modern. The jute rope protects from the hot steam pipe, and the 180-degree swiveling glass allows for steamy showers but also for comfortably bathing the young ones.
- [Steel and Oak Staircase](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/steel-and-oak-staircase-pj-vj~2702832)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 5
  - Description: This staircase, part of a larger project, connects 4 stories. It also creates a visual connection through an 8" gap between railings. The result is a hyperextension of the height of the spaces, and the awareness of the spaces above and below. Blackened steel wraps each stair opening and stringers, creating a continuous ribbon from top to bottom. Clean and simple detailing expresses the quality of the steel.
- [Teak Master Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/teak-master-bath-pj-vj~2702470)
  - Location: New York, NY
  - Photos: 4
  - Description: A full teak floor offers a slip-free surface that feels great to the touch. The teak folds up to enclose the shower. Floor to ceiling textured porcelain tile and recessed lighting create a clean and modern bathroom. The custom solid-surface double sink and floating vanity complement the finishes with clean lines.
- [Marble Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/marble-bath-pj-vj~2712924)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 3
  - Description: This bathroom is part of a larger update to a pre-war apartment. The clients wanted a classic yet modern bathroom. The modern fixtures and accessories, the solid surface counter, and custom millwork complement the elegant marble tiles. A clerestory window pulls in natural light from the adjacent study.
- [Mudroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mudroom-pj-vj~2712942)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 3
  - Description: The cement tile in this mudroom serves as a backdrop for the open shelving. Wet jackets, umbrellas, and hats can be hung on the tiled wall.
- [Twin Baths](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/twin-baths-pj-vj~2712944)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 7
  - Description: The mosaic and cement tile provide a fun contrast to the classic subway tile. Accessories and detailing, such as a flush strip floor transition and shadow reveals, add a modern finish.
- [Steam Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/steam-bath-pj-vj~2712973)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 4
  - Description: Part of a guest suite, this bathroom is a retreat from daily life. Soft colors and simple patterns in white and gray create a calm background for a relaxing bath. A teak ceiling, bench, and custom millwork contribute warm accents. The steam generator is concealed from view, a Sonos integrated speaker can be controlled from the shower, and heated floors provide extra comfort.
- [Kitchenette](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchenette-pj-vj~2712969)
