Park Slope Townhouse Renovation (LPC)

Historical townhouse located in Park Slope on a landmark block. The client’s program included a new kitchen/dining room layout with improved circulation and visual/access to the rear yard open space, increased storage and a new family room layout with home theater at basement level, as well as a new master bedroom with access through a washroom/vestibule and a new bathroom at parlor floor. New finishes throughout the building and required systems upgrades were also included in the project.

The reconfiguration of parlor floor included the creation of a new master bedroom, a washroom/vestibule, a custom closet and a bathroom. The new bedroom opens its windows on the enchanting nature of the block’s courtyard. The design included replacement of the existing fireplace mantle and restoration of a decorated skylight.

The initial selection of schemes narrowed down to the two shown in the drawings, before final selection of the galley type layout (scheme 1). Access to rear yard outdoor space was redirected to a more convenient location with the creation of a double patio door adjacent to dining area.
