Ditmas Park Residence, NY
The Ditmas Park Residence project comprised an interior renovation of an historic primate home in Ditmas Park, a Landmarked District in Brooklyn, NY. The objective was to rethink the flow of the living spaces from the original subdivided plan to a more open style of living for a young family of four.

The goal was to keep the historic character of the home through detailing and finishes but make it feel fresh and bright. We also focused on highlighting the clients’ extensive collection of artifacts from their international travels through clever lighting and display solutions.
What were the key challenges"

We had to remove a large chimney mass that ran through the entire building in order to open up the first floor kitchen and dining room. In order to comply with landmarks regulations, we had to create a faux chimney to replicate the original look, down to the salvaged brick.
