Prospect Heights Brownstone

Dining room with mixed colored leather chairs, a wood table, and a large colorful painting on the wall.

A common challenge of remodeling New York City brownstones is utilizing narrow rear extensions, and this Prospect Heights brownstone was a perfect example. Creative solutions allowed us to make the most of the house's every corner.

The primary goal of this renovation was to connect the existing, narrow rear addition to the rest of the parlor floor and large rear yard.

Creating a sizeable grass yard framed by paving on both ends in the back yard of the home provided a functional space for family living.

We used the large, showstopping mirror that came with the home as inspiration when we redid the living room. Dark, cool colors throughout the furnishings tie the crisp walls to the historic mirror, which we restored and kept dark to retain its original character.

The NanaWall door system uses only a fraction of the wall thickness as a traditional wall, increasing the interior width of the extension and creating an outdoor living area when opened. Opting for this system allowed us to achieve the owner's goals of connecting the home's living spaces.

In collaboration with BIA Interiors, we opted for a modern kitchen and dining room, relocating trim and paneling to other areas of the home.
