This Queen Anne style five story townhouse in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn is one of a pair that were built in 1887 by Charles Erhart, a co-founder of the Pfizer pharmaceutical company. The brownstone façade was restored in an earlier renovation, which also included work to main living spaces. The scope for this new renovation phase was focused on restoring the stair hallways, gut renovating six bathrooms, a butler’s pantry, kitchenette, and work to the bedrooms and main kitchen. Work to the exterior of the house included replacing 18 windows with new energy efficient units, renovating a roof deck and restoring original windows. In keeping with the Victorian approach to interior architecture, each of the primary rooms in the house has its own style and personality. The Parlor is entirely white with detailed paneling and moldings throughout, the Drawing Room and Dining Room are lined with shellacked Oak paneling with leaded glass windows, and upstairs rooms are finished with unique colors or wallpapers to give each a distinct character. The concept for new insertions was therefore to be inspired by existing idiosyncrasies rather than apply uniform modernity. Two bathrooms within the master suite both have stone slab walls and floors, but one is in white Carrara while the other is dark grey Graffiti marble. The other bathrooms employ either grey glass, Carrara mosaic or hexagonal Slate tiles, contrasted with either blackened or brushed stainless steel fixtures. The main kitchen and kitchenette have Carrara countertops and simple white lacquer cabinetry to compliment the historic details.

Our clients had a compact bathroom but were struggling to think of ideas to maximise the small space. The original bathroom was much smaller containing only a toilet, basin and shower cubicle. To enlarge the footprint of the new bathroom we moved the stud wall to create almost double the space. The entire room was also tanked so that if there were any leakages in the future, they would be contained within this room. Throughout the bathroom, we have used beautiful reclaimed iroko timber. Both the shelving and bath panel were handmade in our workshop, bespoke for this design. The wood previously had a life as school lab benches, which we salvaged and breathed new life into. By planing and sanding back the graffiti we have revealed the beautiful wood grain below. The rich chocolate tone of the timber looks stunning, especially when contrasted with the clean white of the bathroom fixtures.

Small bathroom designed using grey wall paint and tiles, as well as blonde wood behind the bathroom mirror. Recessed bathroom shelves used to maximise on limited space, as are the wall mounted bathroom vanity, rounded white toilet and enclosed walk-in shower.

Bagno di rappresentanza, costituito da un lavabo circolare in appoggio su mobile sospeso. Il top del mobile è realizzato nello stesso materiale utilizzato per il rivestimento. In particolare, come rivestimento, sono state utilizzate due lastre, in unico pezzo, una posizionata dietro i sanitari ed una dietro il mobile con lavabo. La tenda a rullo riprende gli stessi colori delle lastre di rivestimento e delle pareti.
