The space is at once a gallery and an artwork, blissful to dwell in and delightful to look at. Its structure resembles the lamp art in its middle -- it is a long channel terminated by two windows opening onto two sides of the building, one to the street and one to the backyard, channeling both the eventful city vibe and the serene interior of the residential area. The juxtaposition of artworks alternative ways of seeing and invigorates the physical space by opening up experiential spaces. The kitchen serves as an ideal studio for a writer with its broad sturdy wooden table and squirrels shuttling on the fire staircase. I fantasized myself having this place as a home if I were to live in Brooklyn some day. Lucien is such a great host, responsive, thoughtful, and so very accommodating. Staying in this place could be an end in itself.
