10 St Francis Place

Brooklyn, New York

2012

A three story townhouse on a quiet tree lined block in Brooklyn was converted into a parlor floor apartment and a triplex. Within the shell of the existing brick building, the interior spaces were reworked to let light enter more dramatically into the otherwise dark center of the house. By opening up the core, the focus shifts towards the existing oak stair. The second floor interior partition walls were removed to create and open kitchen with adjacent living and dining areas. The upper and lower floors function to house the more secluded activities of sleeping and study.
