Revitalizing Heritage with Natalie Rebuck of Re: Design Architects
Celebrating Brooklyn’s Gem
In the heart of Brooklyn’s historic Fiske Terrace, stands a remarkable testament to the blend of tradition and modernity: the Brooklyn Victorian. This 5 bedroom/5 bath Victorian, built in 1904, has recently undergone a transformative journey under the guidance of Re: Design Architects. The firm, renowned for its innovative approach to architecture and interior design, is led by Lead Architect Natalie Rebuck and her dedicated design team. This article delves into the creative mind behind Re: Design Architects’ recent success.
Project Spotlight: Brooklyn Victorian
The Brooklyn Victorian, a classic home from the early 1900s, was in good shape but needed a modern update. Re: Design Architects took on this task with great care, repainting and redoing every part of the house, and putting in new floors to make the inside feel new and lively. They transformed the small, enclosed kitchen into a larger, open space that connects smoothly with the living area. This change shows the firm’s approach of making spaces both useful and beautiful.
