My Better Half

This project embraced marriage: the marriage between a German and an American, and the marriage between a 1910s brownstone and the Bauhaus, which the clients have a tie to. They wanted to bring some of that modernism into their traditional Brooklyn brownstone, so we looked at paintings, furniture, and other visuals from the era, including Hilma af Klint and László Moholy-Nagy. The forms and motifs from this era became the basis for the skylight shapes and colors that we added to the home. The project was a collaboration between Francis Aguillard (One With_Architecture) and O-N, with O-N also serving as the Architect of Record.
