Tour a Serene Brooklyn Brownstone Built Around a Family's Favorite Places
Briefly

A young couple, inspired by their love for Ancient Rome and modern art, undertook a comprehensive three-year renovation of an 1840s Greek Revival brownstone. The team, including the Brooklyn Studio, embraced their vision, creating a unique home reflective of their style and family values. Notable elements include a sculptural mahogany staircase with a domed skylight, merging architectural history with contemporary design. Interior designer Augusta Hoffman contributed a functional, serene aesthetic. The project highlights the couple's deep personal investment in both their home and family, showcasing the intricacies of integrating historical style with modern living.
"Building our home and building our family are forever entwined for us," the wife explains, underscoring their deep personal investment in the project.
"There's definitely a Brooklyn town house look nowadays, and one thing we loved was how each of the Brooklyn Studio's previous works felt distinct," the husband comments.
"The stair is just a lovely piece of sculpture; it's what architects fantasize about doing all the time," says Coburn of the mahogany piece.
"We felt that location is a moment where we can marry those two interests," adds The Brooklyn Studio project manager Jenna Balute.
