This brownstone, located in Harlem, consists of five stories which had been duplexed to create a two story rental unit and a 3 story home for the owners. The owner hired us to do a modern renovation of their home and rear garden. The garden was under utilized, barely visible from the interior and could only be accessed via a small steel stair at the rear of the second floor. We enlarged the owner’s home to include the rear third of the floor below which had walk out access to the garden. The additional square footage became a new family room connected to the living room and kitchen on the floor above via a double height space and a new sculptural stair. The rear facade was completely restructured to allow us to install a wall to wall two story window and door system within the new double height space creating a connection not only between the two floors but with the outside. The garden itself was terraced into two levels, the bottom level of which is directly accessed from the new family room space, the upper level accessed via a few stone clad steps. The upper level of the garden features a playful interplay of stone pavers with wood decking adjacent to a large seating area and a new planting bed. Wet bar cabinetry at the family room level is mirrored by an outside cabinetry/grill configuration as another way to visually tie inside to out. The second floor features the dining room, kitchen and living room in a large open space. Wall to wall builtins from the front to the rear transition from storage to dining display to kitchen; ending at an open shelf display with a fireplace feature in the base. The third floor serves as the children’s floor with two bedrooms and two ensuite baths. The fourth floor is a master suite with a large bedroom and a large bathroom bridged by a walnut clad hall that conceals a closet system and features a built in desk. The master bath consists of a tiled partition wall dividing the space to create a large walkthrough shower for two on one side and showcasing a free standing tub on the other. The house is full of custom modern details such as the recessed, lit handrail at the house’s main stair, floor to ceiling glass partitions separating the halls from the stairs and a whimsical builtin bench in the entry.

Missionné pour rénover cette maison, Amaury, architecte, décode le chantier. "Avec un terrain en pente, une étude approfondie des sols est indispensable. Après état des lieux de l'homogénéité du sol réalisé par un cabinet, nous avons pu établir nos recommandations pour construire une extension. Le saut en 2023 s'opère, le couple opte pour un bardage bois gris souris et un crépi blanc cassé. Pour prolonger l'espace jour à l'extérieur, nous avons conçu une pergola, solution parfaitement adaptée aux terrains pentus.

The property had been extensively 'chopped and changed' over the years, including various 1970s accretions. The opportunity therefore existed, planning permitting, for a complete internal rebuild. This was grasped to the full, and only the front facade and roof now remain of the original. Photography: Rachael Smith

A sophisticated and alluring contemporary exterior gives way to a thoughtful interior that leaves no detail untouched. The spacious foyer opens up to an elegant u-shaped staircase, where large windows provide tons of natural light. The main living space is an open floor plan with thoughtful tray ceiling details. Upstairs the master suite enjoys nothing but luxurious living at its finest.
