Deep, moody and sculptural

Designed by Barker Architecture Office

From the interiors architects:

Deep, moody colours and sculpture-like, textural forms, off-set by richly veined marble elements, define the spaces of this Brooklyn, New York townhouse, designed to enable a social family of three to maximise spaces for entertaining and accommodating visitors.

In the entry, the walls are painted a deep green while a green and pink checkerboard floor is a twist on the traditional black and white. 

A custom asymmetrical curved mirror picks up the arch of the door.

In the parlour (reception space), a curved sofa and armchair frame two nested marble tables nestled atop a curvy rug. 

A custom walnut sideboard anchors the corner of the space. 

A gold painted relief by Andrew Zimmerman and Cloud Support by Mike Hansel are displayed over the original marble mantel.

A deep fluted plaster arch with a bar area lit by vintage French smoked glass sconces frames the view toward the kitchen and rear steel window wall. 

Calacatta vagli viola marble provides benchtops for custom cabinets and an island painted in mushroom tones. 

A curved pantry cabinet flanks a pale oak dining table and upholstered chairs, while a trio of hand-blown glass forms hovers overhead. 

A powder room off the hallway features creamy plaster walls, a backlit asymmetrical mirror, and a custom Irish Connemara marble sink.

The rebuilt stair leads to a light-filled playroom.  

A tambour-lined transition hides a marble-lined bath with a stone sink and ledge and connects to the media room and garden at the back of the house.

Painted in a deep aubergine, the media room is flanked by a marbled bar area. 

Here, a sectional sofa and a barrel chair covered in chartreuse velvet frame a curvy custom walnut coffee table. 

A vintage Italian cocoon resin lamp and curved perimeter cove lighting provide illumination from above.

On the first floor, the primary suite is plastered in a soft lavender grey with stained oak elements. 

Printed linen wall sconces light the custom wall-hung side tables, and a still life is framed over the headboard while a vintage resin pendant hangs above. 

An arched closet leads to the primary bath, plastered in the same lavender grey. 

Here, green onyx and rosa aurora macchia vecchia line the large shower. 

A steel casement window over the freestanding tub opens out to the garden, and onyx covers the stained oak vanity. 

A home office with a custom tambour white oak desk features walls painted in a forest green, and is lit by custom LED sconces.

On the top floor, the curving stairwell ends in a sculpted skylit hall. 

One bedroom features a character wall of arched wallpaper with acid green accents. 

The guest bedroom has a green velvet bed flanked by custom travertine side tables. 

A trio of clay pendants pick up the tones in the wool rug. 

In the guest bath, espectaculo marble wraps the wall and floor, while rosa aurora stone tile lines the skylit tub and shower recess. 

The laundry room features cement tile in anarch pattern.

Outside, the deck and garden levels are finished in travertine checkerboard.
