Pacific Street Townhouse
In the charming Cobble Hill neighborhood, a transformation took place within a slender brownstone residence. The primary objective was to reorient the dwelling, prioritizing the client's needs by reimagining the long-neglected interior finishes and layouts of both the house and the basement apartment. This comprehensive undertaking entailed a complete reconfiguration of the house to accommodate new bathrooms, kitchens, and the introduction of an entirely revamped basement apartment. Due to the limited width of the lot, a three-story rear extension and a deck were incorporated into the design.
Optimizing the connection between the parlor floor and the enchanting southern-exposed rear yard, emphasizes openness and natural light. To achieve this, the addition seamlessly blends in with its surroundings, featuring a speckled white brick facade accented by elegant black steel elements. Throughout the project, steel-framed windows and bespoke millwork were thoughtfully integrated to infuse the residence with a welcoming and contemporary ambiance.
The goal was to make the home more client-centric by erasing the long-ignored finishes and configurations of both the house and basement apartment.
The design intent was to open the parlor floor as much as possible to the rear yard southern exposure.
