From historic charm to modern masterpieces

Barry and Jordan are known for their ability to gut and transform Brooklyn Brownstones into modern masterpieces while preserving the historical details that give them timeless charm.

They've partnered with Shelfology on several renovations to elevate these brownstones with open shelving, which they note is not just a modern design, but has been found in houses from the 1930s.

Bright kitchen with warm wood cabinetry, white marble countertop island featuring a brass faucet, open wood floating shelves displaying kitchenware and decor, and large window letting in natural light.

Minimalist bedroom corner with two wood floating shelves holding ceramic vases, books, and small plants above a slatted wood cabinet on pale gray walls.

"Having continuous elements like the white oak shelves makes the house feel intentional."

- Jordan
