1. Haverford Original by Eberlein Design Consultants
Interiors by Eberlein Design Consultants

This stunning home posed a unique challenge for designer Barbara Eberlein: how to integrate the two divergent backgrounds of its owners—his dramatic southern Californian and her exotic Dutch-Indonesian—seamlessly? Eberlein embarked on a comprehensive renovation, transforming the 1930s Georgian structure into an oasis of rich colors, sensual textures, and gleaming woods. She employed a mix of sculptural forms, tantalizing color palettes, natural materials, including rattan, stone, and bamboo, and Asian antiquities, to create a highly personal home that celebrates the couple’s unique cultural heritage.

This duplex, located in a brownstone in the heart of Brooklyn Heights, is designer Glenn Gissler’s own. Gissler opted for a dark, rich palette of camel, chocolate brown, and green-black to create a serene yet striking background for his collection of art, design, and decorative objects, including Christopher Dresser ceramics, contemporary drawings, and stunning examples of Arts & Crafts furniture as well as Aesthetic Movement furniture. To add to the home’s tailored feel, Gissler used an array of polished materials throughout, including granite, exotic hardwoods, and burnished metals. Click here to view the full project.
