CL-OTH Studio Styles A Storied Model Residence Collection With Locally-Sourced Homewares

499 President is a living gallery of Brooklyn’s creative spirit in the heart of Gowanus. Developed by Brodsky in partnership with Avery Hall, the new luxury rental development is the catalyst for Curate Local: a mindset shift in how New Yorkers style and furnish their apartments. The team is presenting a unique collection of model residences curated with homewares from Brooklyn retailers, makers, and artisans, expanding on the award-winning Brodsky Neighbors program that turns residents into locals.
Designed by SLCE Architects and Avery Hall, 499 President’s 10-story, hand-laid Danish brick façade and black-framed windows pay homage to Gowanus’ industrial heritage. For the interiors, Brooklyn-based design studio CL-OTH crafted modern homes and amenities with interiors that feel quintessential to Brooklyn and yet move the aesthetic forward.
That ethos comes alive in the Curate Local model residence collection, where CL-OTH’s brief was simple: pretend you’re a new renter and go shopping in Brooklyn. The result is three distinct model residences that reflect how you can really live at 499 President…and in Gowanus.
