Great spaces don’t just happen, they’re built step by step 🔨
This Brooklyn brownstone office transformation started with a vision from AJS Designs and came to life through careful planning, craftsmanship, and attention to detail.
To improve flow and function, we removed one of the two office doors🚪originally placed next to each other on adjoining walls and changed the swing of the remaining door for a more practical layout.
We demolished the existing closet and replaced it with a streamlined storage system, mounting four custom walnut shelves for clean, accessible organization. After removing the closet, the original oak flooring had to be repaired and seamlessly refinished 🪵
All new electrical wiring was run to support layered lighting💡including two large pendant lights, a sleek linear sconce alongside the floating shelves, and an adjustable accordion-style wall sconce for task lighting.
The floating shelves were installed on concealed brackets, allowing the linear light to wash the wall below, finished with magnetic wallpaper for both texture and functionality.
An expansive custom desktop in rich walnut with solid edging anchors the room. We also fabricated a platform beneath the two drawer units and painted it to match, creating a cohesive built-in look.
Finally, the walls were skim coated and freshly painted, completing the clean, modern foundation of the space. 🎨
