A new, ground-up attached house facing Cooper Park in Williamsburg Brooklyn. The site is in a row of small 1950s two-story, split-level brick townhouses, some of which have been modified and enlarged over the years and one of which was replaced by this building. The exterior is intentionally subdued, reminiscent of the brick warehouse architecture that occupies much of the neighborhood. In contrast, the interior is bright, dynamic and highly-innovative. In a nod to the original house, nC2 opted to explore the idea of a new, urban version of the split-level home. The house is organized around a stair oriented laterally at its center, which becomes a focal point for the free-flowing spaces that surround it. All of the main spaces of the house - entry hall, kitchen/dining area, living room, mezzanine and a tv room on the top floor - are open to each other and to the main stair. The split-level configuration serves to differentiate these spaces while maintaining the open quality of the house. A four-story high mural by the artist Jerry Inscoe occupies one entire side of the building and creates a dialog with the architecture. Like the building itself, it can only be truly appreciated by moving through the spaces.

Meridian Gray Quartz slabs feature a low variation mid-tone gray with subtle flecks that add interest and depth. Durable and beautiful, use these slabs to create gray quartz countertops, waterfall islands, accent walls, floors, and other architectural elements inside commercial and residential properties. Coordinates with a wide array of other fine quartz, natural stone, porcelain, and mosaics from MSI.

This cornice is covered in raw silk with black beaded fringe. it is the same color as the walls, which blend with the top down bottom up honeycomb shades. The ceiling is a lighter shade of the cornice and decorated with a wallpaper border, pulling the room together and giving interest and depth to the ceiling. Photo by j guigue

The center of the spiral is merely implied to begin at the doorknob of this Pacific Grove entranceway. I thought this would be a grand way to welcome guests into your space.
