Ben Herzog
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.

Ben Herzog Hi- the doors and windows are clad with aluminum. They are from Marvin. The larger trim next to the brick and all of the paneling is a product called Accoya. It is an acetylated wood that is supposed to not need repainting for 30 years- we shall see...

Ben Herzog Hello- we designed the addition and rear facade and Elizabeth Cooke King designed the garden. The garden was built by James Stephenson from The Artist's Garden.

We would definitely recommend him / work with him again.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Bud Dietrich, AIA to American Home Style: The Row House
The back, or garden, elevations of these homes is where more windows and doors can be installed to bring extra light to the interiors.
added by Lisa Frederick to Pint-Size Patios Pack a Punch
Sometimes a simple approach is all you need. A pair of chairs tucked casually on this petite patio offers an ideal spot to perch for a bit and inhale the fresh air.
added by Lindsey M. Roberts to Replace vs. Restore: The Great Window Debate
If your house is in a historic district, like this Brooklyn brownstone, check if you're allowed to replace your windows. Restoring may be your only option.
added by Laura Gaskill to House-Hunting Help: If You Could Pick Your Home Style ...
Row house. This urban housing style takes on a different look depending on the city, from the brownstones of New York to the Victorian row houses of San Francisco. All feature long, narrow floor plans and can be either divided into flats or kept as single-family homes.Is it for you? Newly constructed lofts and townhouses have more spacious floor plans, but a classic old row house has character to spare and may feature hand-crafted built-in details.
