Less Modern, More Mod

This historic Brooklyn Limestone is infused with the personality of its new occupants–1960s Mod references are integrated throughout, creating a mash-up of color and pattern that complements the distinguished architectural elements from the early 20th century when this landmarked townhouse was built. The house is a time machine populated by ghosts of interior design trends past.

A custom sculptural skylight and light fixture usher the sky into a metallic-gold dining room. Each of the fixture’s steel frames casts a different type of light, with the bottom-most frame acting as a dining pendant. The graphic wallpaper pattern echoes the fixture’s interlocking rectangular forms.

We readied this townhouse for its next phase of life with all-new plumbing, electrical, heating, and cooling systems. To renovate a historic building is to curate architectural elements in space and time. The millwork, color palettes, and fixtures are all heavily influenced by Mod-era history, merging functional interventions and decorative moments to bring joy to this historic home.
