Margarita McGrath and Scott Oliver of Noroof Architects termed the 1,650-square-foot house in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, “Pushmi-Pullyu,” in reference to the interiorexterior flow they created. Resident Jill Magid, pictured on her front steps with son Linus, is a conceptual artist;
she fabricated the neon house numbers. An ample sill made of English elm was built into two front windows to create a gathering spot that is visually connected to the street (opposite). Donna Wilson’s lively Ernest pouf in coral Nos Da upholstery for SCP adds extra seating in the living room.
