Prospect Park Residence

This Brooklyn renovation was structured around building a stage for living for two first time home owners. The design approach focused on carving out individual but connected spaces within the home that support the couple’s ongoing hosting of friends and community – their chosen family. The outcome is one grounded by warmth and texture, overlaid with a mix of old and new elements - many by our community of makers and artists. 

The dining area is nestled in a carved, arched nook designed to accommodate dinners with friends. Our custom banquette and table built with Thirdkind Studio hugs the space. The nook opens directly to the kitchen where the couple regularly makes meals for guests. Our client loved to cook and wanted to be in conversation with guests when hosting. We designed the custom walnut kitchen lower than standard so that it feels small and compact, like a piece of furniture, leaving the space feeling connected to its surroundings. The living area features low-to-ground furniture that accommodates guests and dachshunds alike.
