Today on Practice Forward: architect Hormuz Batliboi, founder of Batliboi Studio in Brooklyn. His studio reworks NYC residential—brownstones, lofts, and apartment combinations—especially in Landmark districts—with a calm, light-driven clarity and joinery that reads like furniture made architectural. Recent work includes a Brooklyn Heights loft carved from a former manufacturing shell, a Bed-Stuy brownstone re-stacked as an owner triplex over a garden unit, and a Heights triplex inside a former church resolved through circulation and storage. We’ll talk about the moves that keep these spaces legible—and the tolerances that keep them honest.
