Designers, understanding the infinite design possibilities, are challenged with selecting how they personally live within the built environment. Tobin + Parnes’ husband and wife team, Andrea Dibner & Gerard Orozco have found their ‘style’ and passion for historical restoration and renovation in an 1872 Italian Empire historic brownstone in the historic district of Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, NY.  Using a mixture of modern and antique architectural elements, a warm color palette and lovingly selected artwork and artifacts, a harmoniously balanced environment was achieved within the classically detailed home.

Gerard, a craftsman at heart, and Andrea, an avid gardener and constant project manager, performed all of the design, tiling, painting, hardware replacement, plaster repair, millwork, landscaping, and gardening upgrades personally.  A summer make-over project involved the creation of a rear patio featuring a raised planter with water feature, multi-colored slate tile with integrated Mexican beach pebble edging, natural cedar fencing, teak furniture and seasonal plantings.
