This gut renovation of an 18 ft wide x 45 ft deep brownstone on 1st Street in Park Slope was designed to accomodate a growing family with an upper triplex and a garden floor rental apartment. The parlour floor is taking on a more modern open layout while still preserving many of the original details such as decorative plaster ceilings, pocket doors, and elaborate woodwork and framing. The upper floor provides for a large and modern master bedroom suite layout that includes a large private bath and double walk-in closets while preserving details original to the brownstone.
