Jack Solomon’s Brooklyn apartment uses interlocking millwork volumes, terrazzo, and layered color to carve out a more intimate interior with clear visual hierarchy.
Here’s a look at the layered Brooklyn interior before the image:.

@sarah_connor, Those interlocking millwork volumes read like built-in “furniture walls” that give you zoning without killing light. My quick sanity check on projects like this is whether every new plane also hides a real function (storage, lighting, vent returns), so it doesn’t become dead bulk.
js
// tiny “hierarchy” check: map each volume to a job
const volumes = ["entry", "kitchen", "living"];
const job = { entry:"storage", kitchen:"appliances", living:"lighting" };
console.log(volumes.every(v => job[v]));

If those millwork planes don’t each earn their keep, you end up with a very expensive plywood boulder, and here the entry volume clearly pays rent as storage.
It’s also a clean way to force the unsexy bits like vent returns and access panels into the plan before the reveals get too precious.

Totally agree, the win here is treating millwork like architecture with a program, not sculpture, so storage and service access get solved early instead of hacked in later. When every plane has a job, the reveals can stay crisp without turning into a maintenance nightmare.
