Park Slope Parlor

This renovation celebrates craftsmanship while meeting contemporary needs, balancing a homage to the brownstone’s origins with thoughtful updates that serve a dynamic, livable design. The reimagined floor plan replaced an original load bearing wall with a large steel beam in the ceiling to open up the dining room, kitchen, and pantry, and improve flow and functionality. A large kitchen island connects traditional and contemporary elements, while curves throughout the rooms soften transitions and improve functionality in the space. Thoughtful material choices like custom wood stains, terrazzo tiles, and a bookmatched marble backsplash create warmth and cohesion. Design highlights include a playful checkered floor that guides movement with a dynamic pattern, a concealed pantry with curved, caned-glass appliance cubby and brass accents, and a cleverly designed powder room maximizing space and style.
