A fully modernized brick townhouse with park and garden views from every room and Manhattan skyline views from a dramatic roof terrace, separate this special historic townhouse out from the crowd.

The reuse of the original bricks in the design of the new façade is a key feature of this project. It exists as a conversation between the vernacular of North Brooklyn's Greenpoint neighborhood, and the client's contemporary aesthetic desires. The result is a harmonious nexus of the two, separating itself from the surrounding townhouses, while not detracting from the abundant character of its context.

A lot width of just 12', made for a highly entertaining arranging of the interior space, prioritizing maximizing living within tight constraints.
