Light from the backyard filters in to the primary bedroom.

The home features floor-to-ceiling windows and doors from the Marvin Ultimate collection as well as a combination of smaller casements and awnings. “It breaks up those large openings and gives them more of a human scale when you’re opening and closing the windows,” explains architect Nate Dalesio. The vintage bar stools seen here are by Alvar Aalto.

Repurposed Douglas fir (leftovers from concrete formwork from the house build) was used on the ceiling, with a Velux skylight. The custom Douglas Fir bookshelf was designed and fabricated by Kevin, with a desktop made from salvaged pine by Vintage Mill Werks and a Hay stool.

The couple did most of the build themselves, turning to friends for help with particularly challenging elements. “We did it on a budget – but it was paid for in other ways,” says architect-owner, Chris Stanley. “It took away most of our weekends throughout our 20s—most of our hangovers were spent building rather than watching movies!”

Homeowner Analía Espiga chose the red color of the cabinets. Finding the right shade took several tries. “It’s a sort of terracotta hue called Abundante Rubor” says Iachetti. “This was their idea, which we were happy to explore.”

Even on the stairs, wood remained a prominent feature, with a wood handrail, treads, and a side wall with vertical slats.

Throughout the renovation, off-black apertures amplify the surrounding lush vegetation.

Solk Architecture turned this tiny Brooklyn kitchen into a home cook’s dream, complete with an herb garden, a custom island, and cabinetry galore.

The interior palette includes white oak cabinetry, oak paneling, and rustic ebony-stained oak.

The designers enlarged the kitchen, employing walnut cabinetry and large glass doors that slide open and connect the room to the yard.

On the ground level, the open-concept kitchen and dining area were also transformed in the renovation.
