BROOKLYN ARCHITECT MOZEN SERIES
Jesse Parris-Lamb went one step further to bring the al fresco charm indoors, adding handwoven custom silk wallpaper adorned with a series of wildflowers. “ a subtle nod to the era in which the house was built, and helps create a seamless transition between the dining room and the adjacent garden.” “The window was inspired by the observation windows found on 20th-century passenger trains,” Christopher Devine of Brooklyn Studio shares.
Originally a long, dimly-lit space, Brooklyn Studio transformed the area into a lofty nook connected to the outdoors by adding a wrap-around window which now peers into the lush greenery of the garden. This is beautifully exemplified in the dining area, tucked into the back corner of the house on the ground floor. The final result? A delicate balance of new and old that goes onto characterize the home. Brooklyn–based design firm Jesse Parris-Lamb perfectly complemented the modernized structure through color, pattern, custom furnishings, and a range of antiques.
For Brooklyn Studio this meant the opportunity to bring in loads of light with the addition of glass walls and curved windows that brighten up the house for a young family of four. The loophole? The back of the buildings, where architects more or less have free rein to put a modern spin on these historic structures. Due to landmark regulations, the façade must remain relatively untouched. It’s tricky to completely transform a Neo-Federalist-style Brooklyn town house.
