A turn-of-the-century brownstone in Brooklyn, New York. The living room, kitchen-diner and WC are on the first floor. The second floor has a utility room, bedroom and guest bedroom, both with en suites. The master bedroom, plus walk-in wardrobes and a gym and study area, are on the third floor. The owner has a workshop in the basement, while the ground floor is rented out. Shades and monochrome shades are perfectly balanced in this symmetrical space, the heart of this family home. The light combines bare socket cups with asymmetrical cascades of crystal.
