Park Slope, Brooklyn

1200 sq. ft

A partial renovation of a Park Slope Brooklyn apartment, this kitchen and bathroom remodel is a study in how color, material, and craft can transform a 1,200 square foot home.

The kitchen centers on custom cabinetry in Farrow & Ball's Vert de Terre — a muted, dusty green that brings warmth without weight. Custom inlay detailing elevates the cabinets beyond standard millwork, while a continuous marble slab wraps the countertop and backsplash in one unbroken surface. Running through the marble, a hand-cut stripe of bright red zellige tile becomes the kitchen's defining gesture — bold enough to anchor the room, precise enough to feel intentional. A dropped curved ceiling softens the kitchen's geometry, chrome fixtures add a clean edge, and a statement pendant visible from the living room ensures the space reads beautifully from every angle. A partial glass block wall separates the kitchen from the living area without sacrificing light — an elegant solution to an everyday problem in Brooklyn apartment renovations.

The red zellige stripe continues into both bathrooms, where it caps custom mosaic tilework designed by Mammoth and handcrafted in Morocco. Each bathroom is fully custom — the mosaics, the material palette, and the layout were designed from scratch for this apartment. Pedestal vanities reference the building's 1920s architecture while square-profile fixtures keep both rooms grounded in the present.

Taken together, the renovation demonstrates what's possible in a partial scope: focused intervention, high-craft execution, and a design language that runs continuously from the kitchen through to the bathrooms.
