Most of the effort in this small flat for a couple in Brooklyn’s Prospect Heights neighborhood was characterized by the removal of walls and finishes to reveal the space that was hidden behind multiple renovations. The exposed brick and concrete were supplemented with wood and steel to create a raw but elegant palette. Built-in and custom storage make clever use of valuable Brooklyn real estate, where mere inches count for everything. Full architectural design services, regulatory approvals, HOA approvals, construction administration.

This large loft is a celebration of the simple but dramatic structure of the tenement building it sits in. The former attic space is graced with extraordinarily long rafter ties and a uniquely sloped, corbeled brick chimney. Floors are original pine plank, unadorned and raw. An extremely tight budget was managed through the re-use of these exquisitely utilitarian existing materials. Full architectural design services, regulatory approvals, construction administration.

12th Street Residence is a residential gut renovation in New York City. The project combined two existing apartments into one spacious, light-filled space, providing comfortable living areas as well as prominent surfaces for art display. The firm worked closely with the client to create moments throughout the residence that would best display their vast and sophisticated art collection. The client had a strong vision for clean and functional spaces that would balance the art, and our program proposal provided maximum efficiency while our details helped convey the simplicity desired. Our services included filing at the Department of Buildings for the combination of both apartments while maintaining the Certificate of Occupancy, and hands-on construction administration that helped the project meet its budget and schedule goals.
