Studio Modh is honored to have received the 2017 AIA Brooklyn Merit Award for our Warehouse Loft located in the Eagle Warehouse in Brooklyn Heights. The project unified two apartments, which enabled the creation of a generous central room for living, cooking, eating, and working for a young family. The project is detailed with a series of large scale millwork pieces fabricated from one hundred year old white cedar wood harvested from dismantled water towers in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. One face of the wood displays the purplish gray color from decades of water saturation while the other face exhibits the bleached, dry character of the sun side of the wood.
