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.

dmcontos Where to get french doors with the black sashes ? Are they woood or metal?

Ben Herzog These doors are from Marvin. They are 'clad'- i.e. aluminum wrapped over wood, so they are wood on the interior side and aluminum on the exterior.

How is the slate and brick set in the patio. Mortar? Or on crushed granite with a mortar set border? »
