3,400 SF (315 m²) landmark townhouse renovation
The existing brownstone townhouse is a landmark that was extended with a 550 SF [52 m2] glass duplex with a roof terrace. the residence was further enlarged by lowering the basement floor and raising the roof. The new rear extension is conceived as a light airy space which creates a filter to the garden space beyond, adding more light and better views.
The new garden façade is a 3D folded steel and glass structure with reclaimed hardwood infill. It extends the library on the garden level, the dining room on the parlor floor and creates a terrace for the master bedroom area above.
The interior of the townhouse is gut-renovated; all four floors connected by a new hardwood stair flanked by a glass wall and lit by a skylight above. Large sets of custom hardwood sliding doors with a CNC-ed pattern divide the living room from the entry and the bedroom/bathroom area from the main bedroom, thus creating flexible use of space.
