It is nestled in the busy Brooklyn neighborhood and the update focused on expanding the living space by 30% for a flexible feel. The design focuses on creating a seamless blend between the indoor and outdoor space as each floor is expanded to have flexible areas to appeal to various activities. Some of the remaining features include the [indoor terrace and the all-seasons room](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/he-winter-garden), which opens up or closes to enjoy the changing weather throughout the year. For example, there are [trees planted right into the home](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/palette-architecture) to create a blended nature aesthetic.
