Round Two: A Renovated Brooklyn Duplex Gets a Redo

Rather than live with the architectural flaws of their developer-renovated duplex, one Brooklyn couple decided a redo of the redo was a must, so the pair hired vonDALWIG Architecture to tweak the improvements, to bring more light into their home, and to create better flow.

The walls had been painted blue; a fresh coat of Farrow & Ball’s Strong White helps brighten the room.

The clients own a lot of artwork (the wife is a curator).

A wall of Vitsoe shelving holds the couple’s book and record collection.

A favorite part of the project is the new, oversized arched window in the dining area.

Reform’s Basis Cabinet Fronts upgrade the Ikea kitchen.

The primary bedroom, relocated to the back of the duplex so that it has access to the yard, now has a window seat and ample built-in storage.

Marmoreal, an engineered marble by British designer Max Lamb, is a bold addition to the bathroom.
