    591 Washington – Condominium Development Prospect Heights, Brooklyn    The brief was to re-imagine a condo building which already had foundations in place. The old plans had proposed 6 duplexed one bedroom units. We redesigned the plans with generous full floor two bedroom layouts accommodating 5 units in the same footprint.

Prasse Townhouse

2012 by ka.va design

Prasse Townhouse – Brownstone renovation Prospect heights, Brooklyn . This project is a dream come true! A house for a young family of four in Brooklyn – in many ways a typical project and in other ways so atypical. This is my own home with my husband Tobias and our 2 kids. Truly the most enjoyable projects, but also the most pressurizing one – since we all know designers/architects have big ideas and small budgets. We bought the house with understanding that […]

Lulu & Po

Bija Yoga Studio

2011 by ka.va design

Bija Yoga Studio Clinton hill, Brooklyn    Bija Kids Yoga Studio in Brooklyn is probably one of our favorite projects – it’s definitely close to our hearts since we knew most of the kids (mine included) who would be using the space. Lauren, the director had a clear vision and we decided to develop a simple, clean palette that is urban but also calming and nurturing. We carved out two studios and a reception area from the original single space. The studios […]
