An existing 15’ wide x 100’ long single-story brick building – a commercial garage space within a residential zone
– was purchased to be developed into a single-family residential home. The property, located in the Clinton Hill
neighborhood of Brooklyn, became a study of typology, volume, program and light while balancing building codes
and existing conditions. The first deletion, a compact 10’x12’ volume towards the rear, creates an interior
courtyard for light and air and offers clear separation between the living space and a guest/study room.
Spatial programming on the existing first level is fairly open and sequential - from entry to kitchen to living.
What proceeded was the insertion of a new volume – a volume with a core of functions (bathrooms, laundry) and
a second floor providing two additional bedrooms and access to a roof terrace. This insertion has in itself
a sequence of deletions – skylights that draw light into the stair hall. The resulting courtyard house as a whole
creates a clarity of volumes and program.
