A Transformative Apartment Renovation in Brooklyn

This apartment in a prewar building in Brooklyn Heights was made much more inviting due to a reconfiguration of the layout—architect Ed Kopel transformed the cramped three-bedroom space into a more open space with just two bedrooms. He used the reclaimed space to create a library and media lounge.

The space was conceived as a showcase for the client's collection of midcentury modern furniture. Photo by Francis Dzikowski/ESTO.
