7 of 20

The eponymous founder and principal of local firm Michael K. Chen Architecture resuscitated a four-story, 3,600-square-foot home in Brooklyn’s Clinton Hill neighborhood that was built in 1895 and had been abandoned for 20 years. Its newest owners were inspired by the playful color palette that was still apparent underneath the building’s decay.
