Prospect Heights Townhouse

This extensive renovation of a landmarked townhouse in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, reimagines historic interiors for modern living while preserving and revealing the building’s original character. Dating to the late 19th century, the house’s previous remodel had stripped much of its detail—bleached floors, painted-over mahogany wainscoting and moldings, and lost top-floor ornamentation.

The renovation introduces a rich material palette and clean-lined custom cabinetry that complements and offsets the intricate historic detailing, creating a dialogue between old and new. Modern living and working spaces are carefully integrated alongside upgraded infrastructure—including heating, electrical, plumbing, and air conditioning—without compromising the architectural integrity. The result is a thoughtfully layered, fresh, and functional home tailored to a young family.
