We added a 2-story addition to the back of this landmarked, 25-foot wide Brooklyn Heights brownstone. Working in conjunction with designer Elizabeth Cooke-King, the top level of the addition became a large, light-filled kitchen and the bottom level a baby's room and a sitting area / study for the master bedroom suite. Old brick was used on the exterior surrounding the windows. The black trim and panels are made from an acetylated-wood product that resists rot and does not need to be painted frequently. Inside, the fireplace mantles were replaced with onyx and the staircase to the bottom level was 'turned' at the top to make room for a coat closet.

Finished project photography is by Michael Lee.

How wide is the pocket door opening? How many sqft is the rest of the floor/what is rough layout? - We are planning to renovate parlor floor with kitchen similarly laid out, but in a 20' wide house. Wondering how open to keep the kitchen to the rest of the house (balancing desire to let light through to other areas and desire to keep living and dining with a bit more formal feel. Thank you!! »

Ben Herzog Hi, It is a 6'-4" wide opening. The house is 25' wide with the kitchen in the back (part of it seen here). This view is looking from the dining room which is in the center with a living room up front. Hope this helps.

Brendan McConville Thanks Ben. I must have a thing for Elizabeth Cooke King's design sense! But you guys did an amazing job on this house. From the mantles, to stair redo to drop dead elegant iron work in the back. When I hit the lottery, I'll be giving you a call. thanks!

Ben Herzog I tracked it down- it is the Murano glass chandelier by DWR (in case this link doesn't work):

Ben Herzog Hi- it is a Saarinen table base with a custom top made from the same stone as the kitchen counters- azul macuba. This was designed by the interior designer, Elizabeth Cooke-King.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Becky Harris to Breakfast Nooks, Sunny Side Up
7. If your nook is not in a bay, place it close to windows or doors. French doors and transom windows combined with white-painted walls and light floors provide plenty of light for this tucked-aside, curved breakfast spot.
added by Becky Harris to Style Guide: Bistro Chairs
This variation on the original bentwood chair is the Era chair. Reproductions are available in natural wood and in an array of bright colors. It is available with a caned or solid seat.
