Brooklyn has attained a new level of sophistication, now that Crina Arghirescu Rogard's architecture and design studio is here. Raised in Budapest and educated in Milan, then based in Paris for a few years before relocating to New York and working in the office of renowned designer Adam Tihany, Arghirescu Rogard now lives with her family in the upper triplex of a Bed Stuy brownstone, which she has furnished in a chic and arty way.
High-ceilinged rooms with original doors and moldings provide some of the drama. The rest comes from a curated assortment of vintage and contemporary art, furnishings, collectible design, and housewares acquired over the years in connection with Arghirescu Rogard's work and travels. It's a collection of fun pieces that I sourced or that came from designers we collaborate with.
I didn't have a chance to play with the layout, like I do for most of our projects, but I had the permission of the owner to remove millwork enclosures and different storage solutions that had been used to partition the space, she said. We weren't tearing down walls.
