Brooklyn Heights Designer Showhouse - Brownstoner

We are honored to have been invited back to the Brooklyn Heights Designer Showhouse to renovate the garden-level kitchen at 182 Clinton Street.

The house has a long history, dating back to 1848, and Ingui Architecture is lucky to once again be a part of that history. As Michael Ingui notes,

We renovated the home in 2011, and it has been a rewarding experience to both get to once again transform the garden-level kitchen and to see how other designers in the Showhouse reimagine their spaces.

Ingui Architecture Principal Maggie Hummel is working alongside BIA Interiors Interior Designer Claire Fleming to breathe new life into the kitchen. The designers described their goals and strategy:

Compared to the rest of the 1848 Greek Revival home, the garden has noticeably lower ceilings, which we embraced and used to our advantage by layering the softness and subtle reflectivity of venetian plaster across the continuous ceiling plane, leading the eye directly to the outdoor space.  Soft limestone skips across the floor in a tonal checkerboard that brings the stateliness of Old New York into the new century. Dark cyan millwork grounds the space and carries the saturation of the rear yard landscape into the home. Layers of deep emerald and turquoise marbles enhance the color saturation of the space. Warm white oak wood tones and brass accents bring depth to the room and help delineate program of the open space.

We hope to see you at the showhouse once it opens September 27th! Learn more about this year's showhouse on Brownstoner.
