Prospect Lefferts Townhouse
With its refurbished limestone façade, this historic townhouse is situated on a picturesque tree-lined street in Lefferts Garden, Brooklyn. To interconnect the three levels of the house for this active family, we opened up the historical stair and introduced a new rear facade– a steel and glass curtain wall– to extend the southern light deep into the house. When the oversized kitchen doors are fully open, the interior space extends onto the cast glass balcony and into the rear wildflower garden below. Throughout the interior, we cut large openings through refurbished walls to create connections between the communal spaces.
