York, was the culmination of years of dreaming about a house for the family and prototype to show potential clients what we can do outside of the city. The views of Catskills and the property, are beautiful, even in the darkest days of winter. It sits on 25 gorgeous acres of a former apple farm.

We gutted an existing, 2-story home, opened up the rear brick walls and left them in a state of “arrested decay.” Then we built a 3-story rear addition, in so doing, creating an atrium within, with skylights 30 feet above the dining room floor Photography by Matthew Williams Interior Design collaboration with Liddell Studio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/583c4cb04402433395c9bc23/4fa20937-ea04-4a1e-8ae2-1dca4412389e/2024-09-07+Bowerbird.+77+Wolloughby79203.jpg Projects - Make it stand out Double Barrel This 2-story addition to a Fort Greene, Brooklyn, Brownstone was inspired by the arched entry door, which begot a series of arches as a way to maximize the ceiling height of the rear addition, and thus, became the theme of the project.

A 2-story extension was added to the rear, with an internal, open stair, for the lower duplex, to let as much light in as possible. The rear of the lower duplex, garden level ceiling, was raised to 10 feet, and continues as such through the addition, opening on a 2-level garden.

Filmed for the Magnolia Channel’s “In With The Old,” it was exciting balance between preserving the important historical aspects of the house, and modern juxtapositions Finishes and furniture were a collaboration with Joel Edmondson Photos by Matthew Williamson https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/583c4cb04402433395c9bc23/2d9b9def-e216-4962-b64a-f16d255e2e95/05-Living-Room.jpg Projects On Fort Greene Park This ornate, four-story, Brooklyn brownstone, views onto Fort Greene Park. With a lot of care, and close coordination and input from our client, we renovated this dilapidated old house into an upper triplex with garden apartment. The original stained glass at the entry could have been a Tiffany, which we had to restore, along with copious plaster moldings, woodwork, and medallions. The kitchen is minimalist, simple, and white, so as not to compete with the original detailing.

There were so many custom details that the project proved you can put nearly as much time into three bathrooms as you can into an entire house renovation.

The garden unit is for the retired owners, and by putting an addition on the rear, we were able to make it a two-bedroom, two-bath, with a huge roof deck above for the triplex rental’s use.

From the road, a square tower rises up among the trees, the rest obscured by a hilltop. The driveway wraps around to a carport, buried partly in the hill that leads to the roof. Below, an entry area divides the house into sleeping and living wings, creating a canyon between them, filled with reclaimed boulders found from demolition. Rather than perfunctorily dispensing with the stormwater, runoff from the roofs spills down into the slot canyon and continues down the slope of the hill, carving out a stream over the years.

It offered the opportunity to re-think what it could be, so we rebuilt it with 10 foot floor heights, and in a nod to what came before we rebuilt in brick, reused the original cornice, set back the top floor to create a balcony, and folded the front entry wall inwards to turn the door perpendicular to the street, so as to offer privacy from within for a home in the heart of Williamsburg.

Meant to be barely visible from the road, it appears modest in scale, and reveals itself as one approaches. The house is split into a sleeping wing and a living wing by a low-roofed entry.

Our clients wanted as much natural light as possible. So adding what we could, we created a 2-story, all glass, cantilevered bay window, serving both the Parlor and 2nd floors. We also experimented with natural light from a skylight 2 stories above the inverted, triangular, primary bathroom ceiling, which also served the 3rd floor bath.

The key thing was to design an open Parlor floor, that brought the abundant light from the South-facing, rear façade, to the front of the house. We also took great pleasure in creating fine details of our own, throughout the house.

We created a solid oak, lower duplex stair, a bench along the bay window, lime washed brick walls, redesigned the fireplace, and installed two teak kitchens with stone waterfalls. For the bulkhead stair, we custom-built a perforated metal stair to allow the maximum amount of light through to the apartment below.
