Steal This Look: A Well-Lit Office with Minimalist Appeal

by Published: March 4, 2025

Lea Korzeczek and Matthias Hiller of Studio Oink are masters of playful minimalism—so it’s no surprise that when a Brooklyn couple called on the designers to remodel their 1930s row house, the redone home office followed suit. The office sits on a mezzanine overlooking both the kitchen and backyard; here’s a look at the key sources and simple yet considered accents.
