Gregory Merkel and Ana Catalina Rojas - Brooklyn Townhouse

mr_brooklyn_townhouse_2.jpg

This brownstone renovation is created by two architects who are a little more relaxed about the rules of the game. Interventions often deviate from the standard solutions, most prominently on display in the open floor plan on the parlor level, but sometimes more subtle in moving a door to accommodate a better kitchen layout. I like the inverse relationship between color and space. As you move up the house the rooms get smaller and the color palette lighter. This gradient from dark, to grey to white is applied on trim, cabinetry and floors. Hat tip to remodelista for finding this house.
