Designer and developer Abigail Coover reinterprets 'the formula for the typical Brooklyn condo' with House Offset
Located in South Slope, Brooklyn, House Offset is a residential remodel that underwent a recent renovation with a focus on enhancing both interior and exterior architectural details as well as "preserving much of the exterior as a nod to adjacent residences and the traditional New York City townhouse typology."
