For the two decades since it rose at 208 Vanderbilt Avenue in Brooklyn's Fort Greene neighborhood, this modern townhouse has been recognized as an important architectural addition to the streetscape. Asking $6,500,000, the four-story single-family residence is also home to a working artist's studio, making it a perfect model for creative Brooklyn living. As reported recently in the New York Times, Lorna Simpson, a renowned American photographer and multimedia artist with a current exhibition at the Met, and her husband, artist James Casebere, were looking for a place to live and create; after searching for a suitable space among the borough's historic brownstones, the pair hired British architect David Adjaye to design, from the ground up, a building that transcended the traditional amount of light free wall space.
