A developer had split this Brooklyn Heights carriage house down the middle before our clients bought the left half.
Reviving the building’s industrial past, we installed new steel windows, opening the common spaces to the garden. But we also added elegant, modern details. Our new steel and oak stair winds around a three-story pendant light. At the top of the stair, we added a large skylight to send daylight down through the center of the house.
The rear garden and roof decks provide views to green on every floor. Our modern stained glass window serves as a privacy screen for the primary bath. And warm metal accents and light colored woods soften large rooms. A wall of cerused oak, for example, hides a powder room and kitchen storage.
