This gut renovation of an 18 ft wide x 60 ft deep landmarked brownstone on St. John's Place in Park Slope, Brooklyn, NY, was designed with a more modern open layout while still restoring many of the original details such as wood and marble mantles, decorative plaster ceilings, and elaborate woodwork and framing. The project inolves the conversion from a former SRO occupancy to a 2 family with an upper triplex with usable cellar floor and a garden floor rental apartment. The upper floor provides for a large and modern master bedroom suite layout that includes a large private bath and walk-in closets with new skylight openings. Other modern amenities such as radiant heat flooring throughout the building and high efficiency mechanicals are incorporated into the renovation.
