The main floor’s cramped, enclosed living areas were replaced with a bright, airy great room and an open kitchen. The master bath was relocated to the back of the house, where it now opens to a lovely garden.

Entry was originally a closet. Custom designed geometric opening into the living room with color accent. Vertical reed glass window. Mid-century modern credenza.

We painted the room Northern Cliffs by Benjamin Moore, brought a Crate and Barrel Klyne Sectional Sofa and West Elm's Bello Shag Rug to create a base for a Mid Century modern style living space. A modern red chair from Thrive Home Furnishings, a vintage 1960s cocktail table and West Elm's Flatbar Bookcases share the space. A fiddle leaf fig in the corner adds height and freshness.

Photos by Hulya Kolabas & Catherine Tighe; This project entailed the complete renovation of a two-family row house in Carroll Gardens. The renovation required re-connecting the ground floor to the upper floors and developing a new landscape design for the garden in the rear. As natives of Brooklyn who loathed the darkness of traditional row houses, we were driven to infuse this space with abundant natural light and air by maintaining an open staircase. Only the front wall of the original building was retained because the existing structure would not have been able to support the additional floor that was planned. In addition to the third floor, we added 10 feet to the back of the building and renovated the garden floor to include a rental unit that would offset a costly New York mortgage. Abundant doors and windows in the rear of the structure permit light to illuminate the home and afford views into the garden, which is located on the south side of the site and benefits from copious quantities of sunlight.
