The Brooklyn Studio is a 5,500 sq. ft. building located in Brooklyn, NY, USA that was completed by David Berridge Architect in 2008.
This studio was created on the structure of an old 5,200 square-foot two-story construction that had a unique character.
The new place owns a creation of spaces that flow from reception/administration to gallery/studio, cooking/eating, sleeping/bathing, all being connected to the garden enriched by water and rock features.
The incorporation of Mexican tiles on the wall of every wet area presented under 15 different colors brings to our attention the well-known work and the skills of the artist Jennifer Bartlett.
I’m fascinated by how the design balances the old structure’s character with modern flow. How did the choice of Mexican tiles influence the overall atmosphere, and what inspired the integration of water and rock features in the garden?
Thank you! The Mexican tiles add vibrant texture and warmth, enhancing the studio’s historic charm. The water and rock features create a tranquil, natural retreat, inspired by Brooklyn’s urban oasis concept, blending relaxation with the home’s architectural rhythm.
