GREENLIGHT - LEFFERTS GARDENS

We rejoined the good folks at Greenlight to design the second location of this wonderful independently owned Brooklyn bookstore, having completed their original Fort Greene location in 2010. Located in a new construction building on Flatbush Avenue, this project challenged us to create a feeling of space and brightness in a narrow storefront with limited natural light. Our design scheme incorporated custom lighting coves, along with columns gently flared to meet the ceiling and birch millwork to echo the palette of the original Fort Greene store.
