A couple from Long Island who bought a historic Crown Heights, Brooklyn brownstone embarked on a bottom-to-top renovation. After remodeling two of the floors as rentals, they began on the final apartment, a project high point indeed as it marks the completion of the townhouse’s top floor and the pair’s own NYC pied-à-terre.

Like the other apartments, this one-bedroom unit needed work. It was dark and chopped up, the kitchen was a wreck and the bathroom was in disrepair. They wanted to refresh the under 600-square-foot space and make it feel larger. The goal was to create an open and airy studio and they did so through maximizing natural light and using natural materials for an organic feel.
