This residence was a complete gut renovation of a 4-story row house in Park Slope, and included a new rear extension and penthouse addition. The owners wished to create a warm, family home using a modern language that would act as a clean canvas to feature rich textiles and items from their world travels. As with most Brooklyn row houses, the existing house suffered from a lack of natural light and connection to exterior spaces, an issue that Principal Brendan Coburn is acutely aware of from his experience re-imagining historic structures in the New York area. The resulting architecture is designed around moments featuring natural light and views to the exterior, of both the private garden and the sky, throughout the house, and a stripped-down language of detailing and finishes allows for the concept of the modern-natural to shine. Upon entering the home, the kitchen and dining space draw you in with views beyond through the large glazed opening at the rear of the house. An extension was built to allow for a large sunken living room that provides a family gathering space connected to the kitchen and dining room, but remains distinctly separate, with a strong visual connection to the rear garden. The open sculptural stair tower was designed to function like that of a traditional row house stair, but with a smaller footprint. By extending it up past the original roof level into the new penthouse, the stair becomes an atmospheric shaft for the spaces surrounding the core. All types of weather – sunshine, rain, lightning, can be sensed throughout the home through this unifying vertical environment. The stair space also strives to foster family communication, making open living spaces visible between floors. At the upper-most level, a free-form bench sits suspended over the stair, just by the new roof deck, which provides at-ease entertaining. Oak was used throughout the home as a unifying material element. As one travels upwards within the house, the oak finishes are bleached to further degrees as a nod to how light enters the home. The owners worked with CWB to add their own personality to the project. The meter of a white oak and blackened steel stair screen was designed by the family to read “I love you” in Morse Code, and tile was selected throughout to reference places that hold special significance to the family. To support the owners’ comfort, the architectural design engages passive house technologies to reduce energy use, while increasing air quality within the home – a strategy which aims to respect the environment while providing a refuge from the harsh elements of urban living.

Tucked into a corner of the dining room, this butler’s pantry is small but has a lot of style, with its metal grout joints and oversize antiqued tile. We repeated the brass plumbing fixture – it’s from the same collection as the kitchen faucet. The clean, sleek lines are perfect for this small space. Photo © Alyssa Rosenheck 2016

Roof and Gutter Installation in Charlotte When Joshua Tetner contacted Triumph Roofing, he needed a comprehensive solution for his home in Charlotte. His roof and gutters had sustained significant wear over the years, and it was time for a complete upgrade. Joshua sought a professional team to handle the project efficiently while keeping the process clear and straightforward. The estimated cost for the project was $16,000. We recommended a full roof and gutter installation to restore the functionality and appearance of his home. Joshua appreciated the detailed project breakdown provided by Yuriy, one of our skilled professionals, who worked closely with him to ensure every aspect of the installation was understood and approved. Professionalism at Every Step From the start, Yuriy guided Joshua through the entire process. He walked him step by step through the installation plan, costs, and payments, ensuring there were no surprises along the way. Yuriy also worked directly with Joshua’s insurance company to facilitate claims, saving time and reducing stress for the client. This level of service set the foundation for a seamless project experience. The Installation Process On the scheduled day, our team began by removing the old, worn-out roofing and gutter system. We installed a new, durable roofing system designed to withstand Charlotte’s weather conditions and added high-quality gutters to ensure efficient water drainage. Yuriy remained on-site often, inspecting the work and its progress, ensuring every detail met Triumph Roofing’s high standards. Our expert crew completed the project efficiently, leaving Joshua with a home that was both protected and visually refreshed. The combination of a new roof and a state-of-the-art gutter system enhanced the home’s durability and curb appeal. Client Feedback Joshua shared his experience with glowing words: "Yuriy and Triumph Roofing were awesome to work with. Yuriy was very professional and walked through everything step by step, breaking down installation and cost/payments from both sides. He worked directly with my insurance company to help facilitate the process, which was extremely helpful. The work was excellent, and Yuriy was on-site often, inspecting the work and its progress, making sure it was being done as I expected. Thanks, Yuriy, for a job more than well done!!" This project highlights Triumph Roofing’s commitment to providing high-quality roof and gutter installation services in Charlotte. From expert craftsmanship to unmatched professionalism, we strive to exceed expectations on every project.

The landscape around this Mediterranean style home was transformed from barren and unusable to a warm and inviting outdoor space, cohesive with the existing architecture and aesthetic of the property. The front yard renovation included the construction of stucco landscape walls to create a front courtyard, with a dimensional cut flagstone patio with ground cover joints, a stucco fire pit, a "floating" composite bench, an urn converted into a recirculating water feature, landscape lighting, drought-tolerant planting, and Palomino gravel. Another stucco wall with a powder-coated steel gate was built at the entry to the backyard, connecting to a stucco column and steel fence along the property line. The backyard was developed into an outdoor living space with custom concrete flat work, dimensional cut flagstone pavers, a bocce ball court, horizontal board screening panels, and Mediterranean-style tile and stucco water feature, a second gas fire pit, capped seat walls, an outdoor shower screen, raised garden beds, a trash can enclosure, trellis, climate-appropriate plantings, low voltage lighting, mulch, and more!
