Grand Street Townhouse in Brooklyn, New York by StudioSC

Article source: StudioSC

On an architecturally unique block in south Williamsburg Brooklyn, STUDIOSC was commissioned for the design of a ground up 4 story townhouse. Taking its cues from the intersecting views and existing context the facade presents a strong presence upon approach. Clean interiors throughout all the floors allow for a seamless programming of the home as well as moments of bold statements, such as the master bathroom brick screen, elegant kitchen opening to a well-appointed yard, and the dramatic 2nd floor balcony space that seamlessly integrates interior and exterior. Working together with the developer, the idea was to create a home that tied it’s context and environment into the design methods at every opportunity.

The home faces a small public park to the south where privacy and light were taken into consideration. Deep angular recesses at the lower two levels visually connect the home to its surroundings. The brick screen on the third level is clad with white stone on the interior of each small opening, allowing the master bathroom to glow with playful lighting while overlook the park with some privacy.

The kitchen was designed with a similar approach as the façade to create a continuity throughout. Working within a narrow space was a challenge, and the balance of the programming, layouts and natural light give way to a space that feels larger and wider than it physically is.
