A Photographer at Home in Brooklyn - Remodelista
The Clinton Hill Cooperative Apartments are a secret architectural gem, designed in the 1930s by Wallace K. Harrison (his oeuvre includes the Time-Life Building at Rockefeller Center and Radio City Music Hall). My photographer friend Susanna Howe lives there, and describes her apartment "as a classic prewar apartment with the views of a Brooklyn brownstone." A Case Study Sectional Daybed from Modernica delineates the living room from the entryway; the rug is from West Elm and a pair of lamps with gray shades are from CB2. A vintage Saarinen side chair sits under a photograph by Katherine Wolkoff. A view of the classic prewar layout from the entryway. Corner windows flood the apartment with light. The table is a marble topped Saarinen with vintage black caned chairs. The kitchen is pure Ikea: cabinets, counter tops, and glass globe lights Ikea The upholstered headboard from Garnet Hill and the side table with sliding doors is from Urban Outfitters. A vintage sofa and dresser, plus custom blackout shades. A sitting area in the baby's room. A crib from Ikea and a striped rug from Layla Brooklyn in the nursery. The bath includes original tile work in black, gray, and white; Susanna added the black toilet seat. A room with a view: the "brownstone view" of a church across the street.
