An elegantly restrained and contemporary take on palazzo facade composition, the humble red-brick facade respectfully participates in the Williamsburg streetscape, without understating its quiet grandeur. The slightly curved facade negotiates a unique intersection of angled street property lines, and an engineered compound-curved cornice projects three feet over the sidewalk. Extra-tall, thin-profile steel windows and doors enhance the building’s stateliness.

Within is a grand, double-height duplex private residence, with open floor space serving as the owner’s private art gallery. A custom cantilever steel stair rises between floors. Two additional apartments and ground floor retail round off the interior spaces.
