Lefferts Manor House / Abruzzo Bodziak Architects

Andreas Luco — Sat, 21 Feb 2026 09:00:00 +0000

The Lefferts Manor section of the Prospect Lefferts Gardens Historic District in Brooklyn is a remarkably well-preserved series of historic houses from the late 19th to early 20th-century: stately and large enough for families, the interiors can pose challenges to contemporary living, with outdated building systems, a lack of storage, and dark, divided spaces. New owners of a corner house—a couple with backgrounds in marketing and journalism, raising two children—came to ABA for something "clean, bright, natural, highly purposeful/functional, and kid-friendly." While the exterior of the building is protected by landmark status, ABA approached the interiors not as restoration, but as reinvention. Looking to retain character while minimizing complexity, ABA suggested unifying spaces and bringing calm and simplicity by using as few ingredients as possible, consistently throughout. In doing so, the design process simultaneously references the house's historic form, borrows from early modernists like Adolph Loos in material usage, and unapologetically eliminates detail.

Norwalk, CT, USA - Abruzzo Bodziak Architects (ABA) has designed an innovative culinary center that reimagines post-pandemic work and production spaces within an underutilized facility in Norwalk, Connecticut. After taking over a vast kitchen and warehouse originally designed for large-scale food service, ABA's client—a team of cooking and event planning professionals known for innovative cuisine, bespoke presentation techniques, and an award-winning cookbook—approached the Architects with what they described as a "happiness project." Their goal was to attract both current and potential employees back to in-office work post-pandemic by transforming their new space into a welcoming, light-filled workplace for planners and chefs alike, and to craft an immersive experience for their own clients.

Stick House, Brick Garden / Abruzzo Bodziak Architects

A wood rowhouse in Brooklyn is re-imagined for a British family, drawing from New York and London architecture to create large open spaces, generous daylighting, and outdoor rooms with abundant greenery while protecting the house from future storm-surge flooding. Using ingredients from Greenpoint’s historical wood-framed townhouses – wood cladding, masonry base, stoop, double hung windows with flower boxes – “Stick House, Brick Garden” re-shuffles elements of its context while focusing on resilience.
