A Photographer at Home in Brooklyn

The Clinton Hill Cooperative Apartments are a secret architectural gem, designed in the 1930s by Wallace K. Harrison (his oeuvre includes the Time-Life Building at Rockefeller Center and Radio City Music Hall). My photographer friend Susanna Howe lives there, and describes her apartment "as a classic prewar apartment with the views of a Brooklyn brownstone."

"At leafy green tree level, our views are filled with a beautiful church, church yard, brownstones and mansions, plus the green globes of the subway station." Her interior palette of gray, green, black, and white echoes the views outside, and a mix of simple midcentury and vintage pieces animates the space. See more at Clinton Avenue Dream.
