""Over the decades, the space likely supported a series of modest commercial uses, each leaving subtle traces of its past. This layered history shaped a preservation-minded approach to the renovation.""
""Much of the storefront's original character had been lost through successive alterations, so the renovation sought to restore a sense of clarity and modest presence.""
""The preserved black facade maintains the understated rhythm of the block and keeps the building visually connected to its historic neighbours.""
""The central reception room includes tan-hued lounge furniture - arranged atop layered, textured carpets - and a disco ball above the doorway.""
Elizabeth Roberts Architects renovated a historic commercial space in Brooklyn's Cobble Hill neighborhood, preserving original features while incorporating modern elements. The single-storey structure, traced back to 1855, has a layered history of commercial use. The renovation restored the black front facade and large windows, enhancing the building's connection to its historic surroundings. Inside, natural light highlights exposed wooden beams and characterful elements. The design accommodates various functions, featuring a central reception room with lounge furniture and unique decor, creating a vibrant workspace for the production company Arts & Sciences.
