Park Slope Lighthouse-CWB Architects-01-1 Kindesign

A full gut renovationย of a fourย story Romanesque Revival row house was carried out by CWB Architects,ย located inย Park Slope, Brooklyn, New York. The original 4,200 square footย propertyย was once a single-family home and then underwent constructed to be a multi-family residence. The new homeowner decided to restore the structure back to its former footprint. Dubbed the “Lighthouse”, the home underwent a two year transformation. The existing details of the parlor level were in pretty good shape, so part of it was salvaged and restored to a combination living and dining area. The remainder of the five-bedroom residence received a modern update. According to the architects, “an existing extension was replaced with a new, full-width extension providing a half-level between parlor and garden floors. This โ€œsplit-levelโ€ zone with large floor to ceiling windows provides a direct connection from the kitchen to the garden, as well as between the kitchen and family room below.”

Dinesen Douglas fir wide-plank flooring can be seen throughout the majority of the interiors. All cabinetry throughout the home has been custom designed. Interior designer Tamara Eaton worked with the clients to select art, hardware and wall coverings throughout the interiors, as well as design custom furniture pieces. The home also boasts 880 square feet of exterior living space.
