Kitchen of the Week: The Upper East Side Kitchen of a «Girls» Director

por

When Tricia Brock, a director for HBO shows such as Girls, Breaking Bad, and Silicon Valley, bought her Upper East Side one-bedroom apartment in a prewar co-op building, it was dark and “had a schizophrenic feel,” according to her architects, Andrés Ulises Cortés and Sarrah Khan of Agencie. “The front of the apartment had a bank of windows, which allows a pleasant wash of northern light into the space, but the back was a warren of cubbied-off spaces facing a sky well, resulting in a suffocating set of rooms,” Khan says.

To remedy the situation, Cortés and Khan opened up the dark, L-shaped galley kitchen; working with Henrybuilt, they anchored the space with a small but functional island and added glamorous touches (a marble backsplash and brass-trimmed lighting via interior designer George Terbovich). Join us for a tour.

The kitchen cabinets, countertops, and butcher block island were designed by Henrybuilt. The service door to the left is one of the few remaining elements from the original kitchen,
