A three-storey converted mews house in Brooklyn, New York. The ground floor comprises an open-plan kitchen-diner and a living area. The children's bedroom, a study, play area with craft room and bathroom are on the first floor and the top floor has the master bedroom and bathroom.
1/6 Living room/garden
The space faces north, but the double-height windows overlooking the garden compensate by letting plenty of light. The varnished concrete floor - cosied up with a large vibrant rug - provides a robust play space for children.
2/6 Kitchen-diner
The magenta on the walls complements the timber worktops while the dark splashback tiles add texture.
For a similar bench, try Greenfingers.
3/6 Master bedroom
The master bedroom runs the length of the second floor, with a terrace at one end and a balcony at the other.
The bed is by De La Espada. Try The Natural Wood Floor Company for similar oak flooring.
4/6 Bathroom
The bathroom is inspired by Japanese bathing traditions. The bathroom looks onto a terrace at the front of the house, kept private with a high wall.
