157 Batliboi Studio New York City, NY ABOVE & LEFT: Located in Brooklyn, this once-abandoned 1885 brownstone was completely gutted by the previous owner, which became a blank canvas where I could bring my vision to life. The indoor-outdoor connection was a key piece of the design philosophy, and details throughout the home help create that seamless integration. I brought in as much natural light as possible, including to the garden-level apartment below the main house. The wood planks on the deck have extra spacing between them to allow the sunlight to filter beneath, while the glass doors also allow for plenty of natural light and an easy transition f rom interior to exterior. FACING PAGE: Old homes such as this are typically compartmentalized, so my goal was to structurally declutter, maximize space, and create a large-scale living area. The patio doors offer a continuous flow f rom the living room, and the deck flooring runs the same direction as the living room's wood floor. These elements augment the feeling of openness and draw the eye out to the full length of the space. Photographs by Ashok Sinha See more about Batliboi Studio on page 457
