The cozy New York headquarters of production company Arts & Sciences, on Degraw Street in Cobble Hill, falls into this category of professional environments that shun the cubicle life for a more creative technique.
Not remarkably, its design is the work of longtime Remodelista favorite (and it seems everybody else, too) Elizabeth Roberts. The clients tapped the popular designer to reimagine the little, one-story workplace, nestled in between brick rowhouses on a peaceful domestic block. Prior to the renovation, “the space was functioning and equipped as an office,” she states, however “the acoustic tiled ceilings, vinyl floor covering, and no detail” did it no favors.
Here’s how Elizabeth and her group changed the area and imbued it with a “historic Brooklyn meets contemporary imaginative” vibe.

The disco ball is the client’s own, “absolutely a reflection of their fun-loving technique,” states Elizabeth.
