As you might expect from a pair of architects who grew up along the Aegean Sea, maximizing light inside their home was just as much a priority. Soon after closing on the 3,000-square-foot townhouse, they ripped out the interior walls to expose the home’s original brick surfaces, later painting them white, and tore down all the dropped ceilings to provide more uninterrupted space between floors. They wanted to recreate the feeling of living in an industrial loft, that quintessential New York space the couple had romanticized as graduate students at Columbia University.
