Hicks Street Apartment

Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn

Photographer | Hanna Grankvist

A comprehensive renovation breathes newfound light and spatial fluidity into this historic Brooklyn Heights apartment. Our design intervention removes the wall separating the living area, reintroducing historic sensibility through restored plaster mouldings and graceful arched openings that connect public and private rooms.

The transformation extended to the kitchen and two bathrooms, with softened bullnose corners serving as intuitive thresholds throughout. In the main living space, custom built-in niches flank a minimalist stone fireplace hearth, anchoring a studio-designed dining banquette in Canadian maple and supple warm leather. Designed in collaboration with Henrybuilt, rich American walnut cabinetry and a crisp painted island establish an enduring heart of the home, complemented by natural stone countertops and antique brass fixtures. Across both bathrooms, handmade zellige tiles in ivory and deep emerald, warm American walnut vanities, and vintage-inspired hardware carry the same warmth into daily rituals.
