"Hendry and Cook wanted their home to be a rest from visually busy day jobs. 'I didn't want to look at our art or other art,' Hendry told Architectural Digest in 2023. 'We need a break from color.'"
"The Brooklyn-based firm noroof put what it calls an oval 'oculus' skylight over the staircase, cut Big Windows into the rear, added a roof-deck, and finished the garden level in tile and turned it into a playroom."
"Their broker, Yuval Vidal, says renovated single-family homes at this scale - 4,000 square feet - are hard to come by in this part of Greenpoint: 'There's nothing else. Just this one. That's it.'"
CJ Hendry and Lewis Cook are selling their Greenpoint brownstone, which they purchased for $1.65 million in 2020. The couple transformed the home into a minimalistic four-bedroom space, emphasizing a bleached-white aesthetic to provide a visual break from their art careers. The renovation included a unique oval skylight and a playroom designed for adults. Their broker notes the rarity of such large, renovated homes in Greenpoint. The couple's artistic identity is subtly present in the home, despite its minimal furnishings.
