“Lighting, to me, is never just functional.
It is deeply emotional—an expression of material, atmosphere, and the way a home makes us feel.”

2nd Street Townhouse
Park Slope, Brooklyn / Comprehensive Townhouse Renovation & Interior Design / Completed
Nestled on a tree-lined block in the heart of Park Slope, this historic Brooklyn townhouse underwent a comprehensive gut renovation, thoughtfully restoring its brownstone character while introducing a modern, livable layout.
The garden level was transformed into a private residence for live-in grandparents, creating a seamless multigenerational home. The parlor floor was designed for gathering and everyday living, while the second floor became a private primary suite with an office. The upper level was dedicated to the children, with bedrooms, a playroom, and thoughtfully integrated storage.
Interior design was carried throughout every level, encompassing comprehensive FF&E selections, custom furniture, bespoke millwork, and refined architectural detailing. Original woodwork was carefully preserved and restored in select areas, bringing warmth, continuity, and a distinctive sense of history to the residence.
The construction scope included substantial structural, mechanical, and electrical upgrades, modernizing the home while preserving its historic integrity.
