Williamsburg, Brooklyn
Maison
BK
A home crafted over eight years. Now open to the people who make things.
The Spaces
Nine worlds. One home.
The kitchen, the dining, the couch, the chair and surfboard, the reading room, the family room. The private garden, sauna and cold plunge for wellness days and dinner receptions. A house of flowers and plants, shaped by the artisans whose hands made it.
Room 01
The Kitchen Set
Calacatta Marble Island · Breville Barista Pro · Sunday Sourdough
A working kitchen, not a styled one. Calacatta marble, an asparagus fern in a terracotta pot, the espresso machine that runs the morning, and the sourdough that gets baked here on Sundays.
Room 02
The Dining Set
Oak Banquette by Ian Salter · Noguchi Lantern · Joy & Love Prints · Hand-painted Ceramics
The banquette nook built by Ian Salter, the Noguchi lantern overhead, market flowers on oak, and a wall of Positivity prints. Where coffee starts the day and long dinners end it.
Room 03
The Couch Area
Blue Velvet Sofa · Coffee Table · Teak Sideboard · French Doors to Garden
The blue velvet sofa, the low coffee table stacked with Workstead, the teak sideboard. French doors swing open straight onto the garden — one continuous gesture from morning light to cocktail hour.
Room 04
The Chair & Surfboard
Original Eames Lounge · Surfboard by the Window · Golden Hour
An original Eames lounge in the corner, a surfboard leaning by the window. The room turns honey at golden hour — a single chair, a single board, and the light.
Room 05
The Reading Room in Pink
Reading Chair · Pink Walls · Guitar on the Wall · Books Within Reach
A soft, rose-washed room built around a single reading chair. A guitar on the wall, books within arm's reach, and pink light that turns honey in the late afternoon. The quietest corner of the house — for stories, studio days, or a long stretch of doing nothing at all.
Room 06
The Family Room
Hand-painted Jungle Wall · Lamp-lit Evenings · Made for Families
Built for the people we love most. A custom bunk bed, a hand-painted jungle wall, and doors that swing open onto the patio. Made for kids' brands, family shoots, and slow afternoons where everyone ends up barefoot.
01
Made with Love
Furniture built by a woodworker friend. Plants from Tula. Books that are actually read. A home crafted over eight years with intention.
02

Completely secluded behind bamboo. Japanese maple, string lights, terracotta pots, cedar deck. Accessible from the ground floor.

Sauna + Cold Plunge
A cedar barrel sauna and a cold plunge in the garden. One of the rarest amenities available for rent anywhere in Brooklyn.
04

Section 08
Flowers and plants.
A Japanese maple from Tula, the hydrangeas in summer, the bonsai by the window, market flowers on the dining table. Living things, in every room.
Section 09
The artisans.
The hands behind the house. Pottery, basketry, hats, linen — small makers we collect from, slowly, year after year.
01
Pottery
Hand-thrown stoneware, slip-decorated tableware, and one-off vessels for the dinner table.

02
Basketry
Woven willow, rush, and rattan — baskets for the market, the laundry, the bread, the flowers.

03
Hats
Hand-blocked straw and felt. Summer wide-brims for the garden, winter shapes for the city.

04
Linen
Stone-washed napkins, runners, and bedding from small European mills. Soft, slow, made to last.

About the Home
Designed to be lived in. And photographed.
Over eight years, a French family built this home piece by piece, with intention and love. The furniture was made by a woodworker friend. The plants came from Tula, just down the street. The books on the shelves are the ones we actually read. The guitar gets played. The sourdough was baked here. The croissant print is there because we are French and we miss them. Nothing was staged. This is just how we live.
We are sharing this home with people who make things. Photographers, filmmakers, dancers, musicians, workshop leaders, content creators, and brands that care about beauty. People who will love it the way we do.

The Plants
From Tula.
Bushwick · Brooklyn
Most of our plants come from Tula. We first discovered Christan when she had her little shop and expo in a warehouse in Bushwick. That space had the same energy as this house — plants as living art, arranged with intention.
Today Tula is one of the most sought-after plant destinations in the city, known for rare specimens, thoughtful curation, and a team that truly understands how greenery transforms a room.
The Japanese maple, the bonsai, the terracotta pots scattered through the garden — they all came from Christan and her team. They are as much a part of the house as the furniture.
In Conversation
Coffee with Sonia.
Eight years in the making. Sonia shares the story behind Maison BK — the rooms, the rituals, and the small decisions that made the house feel like home.
Question 01
Where did the house begin for you?
S.I bought it on a grey November afternoon. The bones were beautiful — high ceilings, original mouldings — but every wall was painted the wrong colour. I lived in it for a year before I changed a single thing. I wanted to know how the light moved before I made any decisions.
Question 02
What is the room you spend the most time in?
S.The breakfast nook, without question. I write there every morning. The sun comes in around 8:15 and sits on the marble for about an hour. I plan most of my week from that bench.
Question 03
Is there a piece in the house with a story?
S.The banquette in the kitchen. A friend who's a woodworker upstate built it from a single piece of white oak. We sketched it on a napkin at dinner. It took him four months and it's the heart of the room now.
Question 04
What did the garden teach you?
S.Patience. The first two summers I planted everything wrong. Now it mostly takes care of itself — the fig tree, the climbing roses, the herbs by the sauna. In Brooklyn, having that kind of quiet feels almost unreasonable.
Question 05
What do you hope people feel when they walk in?
S.Permission to slow down. The house isn't precious. Put your feet up. Open a bottle. Use the good glasses. That's what it's for.
