This apartment at Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, function as the office and home of Robert Highsmith and Stefanie Brechbuehler who met as architecture students at the Rhode Island School of Design.
After graduating they started Workstead which specialize in architecture, interiors, furniture, graphic design, and events with a great mission statement: “Depth and richness are found in objects upon which the imprint of time has left its mark”.
Very well said!
Both in their projects and in real life, they use as many reused materials as possible. “When I bring something home that’s new, or if I’m not sure where it came from, I find it loud, distracting,” says Robert.
The sofa and armchair in the living room, for example, belonged to his grandparents and the armchair still smells faintly of cigarette smoke...
No doubt, one of the reasons this space feels so warm and inviting is because it is filled with objects that have a story to tell.
