feature—Clare Donohue, 121Studio

urbanseashell — a collection would like to introduce
Clare Donahue of One to One Studio. Clare is a Brooklyn-based kitchen & bath designer and a renovation coach. Clare consults with clients who are considering renovating and helps develop strategies to guide them through the process.
"I do this through either a one-time site visit or through an ongoing relationship. I'll look at
the space and make suggestions, then do floor plans, help shop for tile and fixtures, refer contractors, etc, as needed. For a lot of people I act as a sounding board. I seem to attract clients who sort of know what they want, but still need some guidance. Often, people who have already
hired architects will have me review the blueprints from
a kitchen/bath-specific viewpoint, or as a second opinion."

Clare's designs are clean and simple. She likes both modern and traditional interiors, but in either style her work is warm, friendly, and welcoming.
"I believe in designing for the way people actually live, not some fantasy, although I will always encourage clients to clean out what is unnecessary in their lives."
Clare works in Manhattan and Brooklyn.

PUBLIC HEARING FOR "ATLANTIC YARDS"
DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 23rd, 4:30 - 8:30 PM
COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION ESSENTIAL!

On Wednesday, August 23rd, the Empire State Development Corporation (ESDC) will hold a legally mandated Public Hearing on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for Forest City Ratner's proposed "Atlantic Yards" project. We urge you to attend this critical hearing. The ESDC has provided just five weeks for the public to review the 2,000-page DEIS and 1,000-page General Project Plan prior to this public hearing, and has required the submission of all written comment by September 22nd, a total comment period of just 66 days. By comparison, NYC allowed nearly four months for public comment on the new Yankee Stadium project, and a three-month review of the proposed Hudson Yards redevelopment.

This limited window for public comment on the "Atlantic Yards" DEIS is symptomatic of a process that has severely limited the community's input and scrutiny from the outset. By scheduling the hearing in late August, the ESDC appears to be trying to minimize public criticism of the DEIS, so it's crucial that we don't let them get away with it.

Please prepare as well as you can
The Council of Brooklyn Neighborhoods,

Brooklyn Papers
Develop — don't destroy. Brooklyn
They have some great info to get you started.

Arrive at the DEIS hearing as early as possible
(we expect "Atlantic Yards" supporters to arrive at least an hour
prior to the scheduled start time), sign up to speak, and
let the ESDC know what you think.

This hearing is the only opportunity our community
will have to speak out publicly about the DEIS.
Please be there if you possibly can

When
Wednesday, August 23rd, 4:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.
Where
