A Family Friendly Brownstone Garden

A split level and neglected backyard was updated to create a warm and friendly space for friends and family to gather for long meals and conversation.

Park Slope Brooklyn

West Village Garden

West Village Brownstone gets an updated garden. A composition consisting of very low maintenance features makes it an easy to enjoy space year round.

Brooklyn Garden with Pergola

A very overgrown and neglected garden got a major redesign. Pergola with movable panels for privacy offer privacy in this busy urban neighborhood.

Bed Stuy Garden

Boerum Hill Garden

A typical 20'x50' rear yard needed an easy to live with garden for a growing family. Resulting design reflects families love for classical european form with attention to modern details.

Brooklyn Heights Backyard

An urban garden enclosed within walls of neighboring properties needed to be updated to offer this family a place to play and entertain. 
To meet the family's needs a well framed dining area and play space were created. 
Play grass area has a protective layer of sponge. Although stiff enough to run on and kick the ball, it offers protection from inevitable tumbles. 

Cobble Hill Angular

New construction condo in Cobble Hill Brooklyn needed a face list. The garden was designed for best views from the top floors looking down and from sunken living room looking up. Strong architectural element was introduced by using corten steel borders. The garden is on top of a garage below and sits on mostly construction debris. I opted to create a raised garden to allow plants to root into new, rich soil. 


Brooklyn backyard with small playground

For a Park Slope family with three young children a small playground was integrated into the modern low maintenance backyard.

Cobble Hill Pool

Modest space needed to fit a pool, elevated deck with dining area, long area and most importantly pool equipment area. The old Acer palmatum Rubrum, the original inhabitant of the space, was relocated several feet to allow for the machinery. Garden was designed for lush, meandering space to experience it from various vantage points.

Park Slope 7

A historic Brownstone garden was redesigned for entertaining. Porcelain plank tile was used in the garden. Corten BBQ station was built as a focal point in the garden.

Park Slope Reno

Manhattan Brownstone Garden

An update to a fully renovated Brownstone in Manhattan Valley neighborhood. A child friendly garden and deck made from subway grating makes this space light and breezy. 

UWS Landmark

Cobble Hill Organic Modern

This perennial garden is sitting on the roof of a large underground garage. With very little soil (mostly consisting of construction debris) building a raised Corten planter made sense. The theme of the garden is unusual foliage. Plants with exceptional & show leaves keep this garden visual exiting through all seasons.

A Park Slope Modern

This unusually narrow garden in the South Park Slope needed lost of sitting room and storage areas. Resulting design solves both by having custom bench boxes spaced through the garden. Clematis paniculata provides late summer colour and a focal point in the end of the garden.

Your Spaces

I’ve always dreamed of having a clean, modernist home, and I’m happy to say that Alice and her team at Atelier Cohen led the way to making that dream a reality! I couldn’t be more happy with the project, my house looks like it could be featured in a Kinfolk magazine. I expressed my wishes of having a clean, natural interior aesthetic and they truly delivered – the natural light in my newly designed home is to die for. They also helped me turn my dated, drab living room into a spacious and cozy space in which I can’t wait to host a party. I couldn’t recommend Alice more, if you’re looking for easy collaboration and top-notch design, you have to reach out to them!

I’ve worked with Alice on a few renovation projects and am still floored by her dedication to design and space planning. Never have I experienced a hiccup or missed communication with Atelier Cohen, and home projects tend to create those sorts of problems! They are professional, approachable, and innovative in a way that anyone with any level of home renovating or staging experience will feel like they are in good hands.

Alice’s eye, advice, and service is extremely rare in this business. If you get the chance to work with them, don’t think twice about it!

I had the pleasure of working with Alice on redecorating my childhood home that hadn’t been touched up since I was a teen in the 80’s. I knew it needed a huge refresh aesthetically, but I wasn’t sure where to start. I had a consultation with Alice about my hazy ideas and she was able to understand my tastes and needs after just one chat! The whole design process was so streamlined and thorough that my fears of things going awry totally vanished after the first few meetings. She walked me through every step of the process, from sharing sketches and moodboards to purchasing the final pieces of furniture and decoration. Working with Alice at Atelier Cohen has got to be my greatest investment, I highly recommend their services.

I’ve always dreamed of having a clean, modern farmhouse kitchen, and I’m happy to say that Maison Kitchen and Bath led the way to making that dream a reality!

They also helped me turn my claustrophobic galley kitchen into a beautiful open-space plan that makes me actually want to cook and entertain in the kitchen.
