Empire Engine firehouse is a holdout of a bygone era, surrounded by some of the fastest transforming residential blocks in Brooklyn. We collaborated with the owners to craft an architectural expression of their curated design ideas and concepts, amplifying the history of the place. The residence is topped with a formal roof garden and hardscape of serpentine pavers and water features, including a flooded structural glass skylight and Japanese soaking tub.
