Halsey Street Townhouse

This full renovation of a historic townhouse in Bed-Stuy is designed for a young couple with a focus on blending historic architectural features with modern comfort. While preserving the home’s many historic elements, the renovation expands the cellular layout of typical townhouses with a more open plan and expansion of space with longer sightlines.

The townhouse offers many challenges and potential surprises sometimes feeling like opening Pandora’s box. We minimize these issues by 3D scanning all existing conditions to anticipate our the impact our design would have on the original structure thereby avoiding costly fixes or changes. It’s impossible to get them all but we love that we can use this technology to make more informed and thoughtful decisions.
