The couple who bought this Williamsburg townhouse loved the 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge, so they hired its architects. DHWendyGoodman reports
The dining-room walls were plastered and painted in a deep-mushroom earth tone. Photo: Matthew Williams An East Village couple who were expecting their first child had bought a newly built townhouse near Domino Park in Williamsburg — nicely laid out but developer-lackluster in its finishes — and were trying to decide what they wanted to do with it. They were fans of the 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge, and decided to look up its architect.
First up was the staircase: “She was pregnant at the time and very nervous about raising kids running up and down those stairs and the potential danger,” so they partially enclosed it with vertical slats that continue up the stairwell.. The slats also became a design device for dividing the family room from the living room, while allowing light and transparency.
The couple work from home, so “there are a bunch of different perches scattered around so you don’t have to run to your desk,” he notes.
