Tour a Brooklyn Apartment After a Jaw-Dropping Makeover

Brooklyn-based architecture and interior design firm Meshberg Group reimagined two awkwardly designed apartments into one bespoke industrial chic space in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The apartment's owner, Laura Garcia, is the founder and CEO of her own consulting design firm, Laura Garcia Design Development and worked alongside Adam Meshberg to create the space. "Laura and I have a had a long-standing relationship (our kids even go to school together), so it was an enjoyable project for the both of us," says Adam.

A lack of strong differentiation between rooms like the living and dining area added to the cluttered, claustrophobic effect before this apartment renovation.

From enclosed, dark and stuffy to light, airy and open, almost every piece of the home was locally sourced and custom made. This hallway lined with beautiful artwork opens up into the dining room furnished with an industrial feel in mind.

Mismatched furniture marred the continuity and flow of this apartment. Homeowner Laura says of the furniture she picked for the renovation, "I sourced much of the furniture for our apartment from the Hamptons where we have a second home. I find that there is a better selection of independent furniture stores and antique shops with more unique pieces that I like to incorporate into our home. Similarly, I like to support local Brooklyn vendors whenever possible.”
