There's a story behind every moving van double-parked on a Brooklyn street. Ever wondered about the people whose stuff is rolling on and off those ramps? As a new feature, we'll bring some of those stories to you.
One of the best things about working in real estate is getting to meet interesting people and seeing the incredibly cool stuff they do. This week we're showing an apartment in Cobble Hill that has been both home and studio to the sculptor Thomas Doyle for the past three years. His intricate sculptures of small-scaled people in large-scale distress seem designed for our precarious economic times. I interrupted his packing to speak with Thomas Doyle.
Q: What's it like having your studio and your living space combined?
A: Frankly, it's not ideal. But I've always liked working where I live. The commute is really short.
Q: You're moving out of Brooklyn. Will you have a studio in your new home?
A: Yes. It's the top floor of the house, so it's still integrated into the home. But there will be more separation.
Q: Still a short commute, then?
A: Yes.
Q: Will you miss anything about Brooklyn?
A: Sure. The neighborhood is wonderful, and I have a lot of friends here. There's plenty to do, great restaurants and bars. But I'll still be close by.
Q: You'll have more space in the new house?
A: I'm working on my art more and more. When you work in sculpture, it tends to pile up.
