TERRACE HOUSE
On a corner lot in the South Slope, Brooklyn this 3 family row house was converted into an open and light filled upper floor duplex and a rental apartment below. The attached 5 car garage roof was transformed into a roof terrace with integrated planters for gardening and recreation for the family.
This deck is accessed through custom, bi-fold and swing steel and glass doors from the dining area. A stepped and raised cedar deck was created with exterior furniture and gardening storage below and a slatted cedar screen provides privacy, security and completes the composition. The roof pavers allow grass to grow between them for a durable green roof.
The Living Room bookshelves are repurposed out the planed-down solid pine rafters salvaged from the old garage roof. The kitchen was built from modified Henry Built teak cabinets found at a salvage mart and integrated into the design with carrara marble countertops and backsplashes.
A stair and blackened steel railing winds up to the sleeping, office and laundry room above culminating into a custom laser cut steel guard rail modeled after a map of the Santa Croce / Cannaregio neighborhoods of Venice.
