Building: 78 2 Place

The four floor-through residences at 78 second place evoke the clean lines and serenity championed by minimalist British architect John Pawson, set in a grand, 25 feet wide, turn-of-the-century classic Carroll Gardens brownstone. The homes feature a delicate natural color palette throughout their finishes and exceptional light and air from the southern facing living rooms that boast ceiling heights of up to 12 feet and a full wall of windows.

Each residence enjoys a private finished outdoor space in the form of a garden or roof terrace of at least 500 square feet per residence. The carefully selected finishes include 22 feet long Dinesen Douglas Fir wood plank floors imported from Denmark, Caesarstone polished cement like backsplash and countertops, custom Shinnoki oak wood cabinets and European light fixtures by Astro. Bathrooms feature fixtures by Porcelanosa, Vigo and Hansgrohe and Le Veneziane terrazo porcelain tiles by Florim. The building offers large private storage rooms for each residence, common bicycle parking and a dedicated stroller storage shed.
