Street Frontage and Entry
Two adjacent buildings stand side by side marked by contrasting exterior styles and finishes. On the left is a red brick building with green-trimmed windows and a green door, presenting a classic urban brownstone aesthetic. To the right is a whitewashed brick structure, showing signs of aging and weathering, with a small black metal fire escape and old-style windows. Between them is a gray garage door with vibrant graffiti, adding an urban edge. A large tree dominates the foreground by the sidewalk, providing greenery and shade. A gray sedan is parked in front of the scene along the paved street.
Building Facade
Red brick facade with a modern black trim design creates a bold contrast. The symmetrical window arrangement features black-framed double-hung windows spanning three floors. The entrance consists of a garage door and two separate pedestrian doors, all painted matte black to unify the exterior elements. The concrete sidewalk is segmented by clean, grid-like lines, offering a contemporary urban feel. To the right, a green tree planted in a rounded metal guard adds a touch of nature and softness to the otherwise geometric and industrial street frontage. Next door, older adjacent buildings provide a historic context.
Street View with Park
Wide urban street lined with mature green trees on both sides, creating a canopy effect over the sidewalk and road. Park entrance fenced with black wrought iron railing on the right side. Multiple parked cars fill marked spaces along the right lane. Clear traffic lights and pedestrian crosswalks indicate a well-organized intersection. Scooter rentals visible near a bright hot pink advertisement board, adding a modern city touch. The sky is bright blue with scattered fluffy white clouds, conveying a clear, pleasant day. A tall building in the distance provides an urban backdrop, blending natural and city elements harmoniously.
Garage Interior
The space is a long, narrow garage with unfinished concrete floors and walls made of a combination of smooth stucco and concrete blocks. Exposed rusty steel beams support the ceiling, which is made from corrugated metal panels. Fluorescent tube lighting fixtures run the length of the ceiling, providing industrial-style illumination. Small rectangular windows on one side of the garage allow minimal natural light. The overall aesthetic is utilitarian and raw, emphasizing practical structure over decorative elements. The space has a historic, aged appearance, evoking a rugged, functional area likely used for storage or vehicle parking.
Basement Storage Area
Concrete block walls in three different tones enclose this spacious basement area. The floor is smooth, plainly finished concrete, complimenting the industrial feel. Small rectangular windows near ceiling level provide limited natural light. Exposed steel ceiling beams and metal roofing panels maintain an unfinished, utilitarian aesthetic. Fluorescent tube lights run parallel along the ceiling, enhancing brightness in the absence of larger windows. This space appears well-suited for storage or workshop use, with its simple, sturdy construction and minimal decoration, emphasizing function over form in a typically low-traffic section of the house.
Modern Kitchen Island
Wooden floorboards with a warm honey tone stretch across the space, complementing the dark cherry-finished cabinetry. A compact kitchen island at the center doubles as a breakfast bar with two matching wooden stools. The backsplash consists of small blue tiles, adding a vibrant pop of color to the otherwise neutral palette of white walls and stainless steel appliances. Two large windows let in natural light, each fitted with white blinds and one housing a window air conditioner. Subtle artwork and a small potted plant on the island bring a touch of personality and greenery to the minimalist design.
Art Studio Entrance
Bright white walls and ceiling create a clean, airy atmosphere paired with light wood plank flooring that adds warmth. Two glass-paned French doors open to a cozy adjoining bedroom with a soft rug and neutral bedding accented with pillows. The art studio area contains sparse yet functional furnishings including a chrome cart holding various art supplies beneath a minimalist gallery of small, eclectic paintings and canvases displayed asymmetrically on the wall. On the right, an industrial metal shelf holds books and storage baskets, balancing functionality with a modern touch against the simple, bright backdrop.
Bedroom with Work Area
Bright and spacious bedroom enhanced by natural light flowing through three large windows with black trim and simple white curtains. The room is anchored by a large bed dressed in neutral bedding with multiple pillows, creating a cozy atmosphere. A mid-century modern wooden dresser with sleek lines is positioned against a white wall, adorned with minimalist artwork and a few decorative objects including a vintage lamp and a sculptural bust. On the far side, a compact workstation with a dark chair and dual monitors is set near the windows, blending functionality with restful aesthetics. The textured black and white rug adds warmth and contrast to the honey-toned hardwood floor, complementing the modern yet inviting feel of the room.
Bathroom Vanity and Tub
A clean, minimalist bathroom with a white vanity featuring classic recessed panel cabinet doors and small, round metal knobs. The vanity top is smooth and light-colored with an integrated sink and a sleek chrome faucet. Above it is a large, contemporary mirrored medicine cabinet providing reflective light and storage. The adjacent wall displays two small framed artworks, adding a touch of personality. The bathtub is surrounded by white subway tiles and has a modern rain showerhead, complemented by a striped shower curtain in black and white tones. The flooring appears dark, contrasting with the otherwise bright space, creating a fresh, balanced aesthetic.
Stairwell Landing with Ladder
A small stairwell landing marked by a striking patterned tile floor in warm tones of brown, white, and blue arranged in circular floral motifs. The walls are stark white, creating a crisp contrast with the decorative flooring. A black wrought iron railing with elegant scrollwork provides safety and visual interest along the landing edge. A slender, black ladder leans against the ceiling, leading up to a skylight that introduces natural light to this otherwise compact space. The stair treads visible below are dark gray with a textured surface, completing the minimalist yet character-filled area with a blend of rustic and industrial design elements.
