The Greenwald-Largent townhouse is a classic 1860s Italianate brownstone located in the Brooklyn Heights Historic District. The project involved a complete reimagining of the house for the chairman of a major record label, her husband, and children. Equal thought and attention were given to creating formal spaces for entertaining, comfortable family living spaces, and the display of an extensive collection of contemporary art. The result is a polished, vibrant, and glamorous house tailored to the needs of the family who lives there.
ERA fully restored the historic front façade of the house and opened the rear façade to bring in light and create a greater connection to the garden. The classically proportioned rooms and architectural details create a rich dialogue with the luxurious modern furnishings. Special care was taken to create a tactile and sophisticated palette of materials throughout the house.
