BOERUM HILL TOWNHOUSE

Deep , moody colors and sculptural textured shapes , punctuated by richly veined marble elements , define the spaces of this Boerum Hill townhouse , designed to enable a social family of three to maximize spaces for entertaining and accommodating visitors .
In the entry , the walls are painted a deep green , and a green and pink checkerboard floor is a twist on the traditional black and white . A custom asymmetrical curved mirror picks up the arch of the door .
In the parlor , a curved sofa and armchair frame two nested marble tables nestled atop a curvy rug . A custom walnut sideboard anchors the corner of the space .
A gold painted relief by Andrew Zimmerman and Cloud Support by Mike Hansel are displayed over the original marble mantel .
A deep fluted plaster arch with a bar area lit by vintage French smoked glass sconces frames the view toward the kitchen and rear steel window wall .
Calacatta vagli viola marble tops custom cabinets and an island painted in mushroom tones .
A curved pantry cabinet flanks a pale oak dining table and upholstered chairs , while a trio of hand-blown glass forms hovers overhead . A powder room off the hallway features creamy plaster walls , a backlit asymmetrical mirror , and a custom Irish Connemara marble sink .
The rebuilt stair leads to a lightfilled playroom . A tambour-lined transition hides a marble-lined bath with a stone sink and ledge and connects to the media room and garden at the back of the house .
Painted in a deep aubergine , the media room is flanked by a marbled bar area . A sectional sofa and a barrel chair covered in chartreuse velvet frame a curvy custom walnut coffee table .
A vintage Italian cocoon resin lamp and curved perimeter cove lighting provide illumination from above .
