The Strong Place Townhouse is located in Brooklyn’s Cobble Hill Historic District. Original Neo-Grec details were retained and intentionally mixed with historical elements imported from India, the client’s cultural origin. Mahogany handrails and rustic wood shutters were preserved to contrast with antique doors from a Rajasthani haveli installed on the parlor level.
Large glass doors and a kitchen skylight on the two-story garden-side addition provide ample natural light. The top of the addition serves as a private terrace off the primary bedroom, and a large garden-level room provides a casual space for music, reading, and entertainment. Furnishings and finishes were selected to backdrop the clients’ collection of Indian art and celebrate a growing family’s varied cultural background.
