Brooklyn Heights Townhouse By SPG Architects

A historic Brooklyn Heights Townhouse has been received a dashing renovation by the talented Manhattan-primarily based firm SPG Architects. With 5 stories and about 5,220 square feet, transforming the 1836-built structure into an urban modern day dream house was no little task.

Keeping to its neighborhood aesthetic, a red brick facade meets the tree-lined street. When inside, the newly expanded spaces are cheery and light-filled as a outcome of removing walls, adding windows and interjecting a vibrant, colorful spirit throughout.

Ornate mouldings, original dual fireplaces and dark wood floors nod to the landmark building. My heart skipped a beat, even though, when I saw the steep staircase with white balustrades, mahogany railing and a plush runner of rainbowed ribbons, generating a bit of a whimsical illusion.

Tonal purples are eye-catching, saturating the interiors from living places to the master suite.  The contemporary furnishings and modern art play dramatic contrast to the classic bones of the residence, creating for a sophisticated, but not-too-serious setting.

In the living area, an entire wall of customized black shelving is filled with books upon books, and features a moveable ladder.  Pale leather modular sofas and an oversize patterned pouf rest upon a mint green accent rug, with a massive white saucer bubble pendant presiding over this lounging arrangement. Inside the identical vast space, plum velvet sofas sit upon a magenta-primarily based rug, which also pops with green, blue and orange. Black-framed floor-to-ceiling windows are exquisite, attributing an elegant character to the space.

The shared kitchen-dining room is utterly engaging, with a huge rounded-triangular table and chairs in mid-century style. A chandelier with a melodious mix of translucent glass bulb pendants in varying colors becomes a dazzling focal point.  Quite the fun surprise, a sky-blue tufted leather banquette with little white tray tables lines the wall of this social/culinary space.

The functional area characteristics sleek light grey and white cabinetry with opaque glass doors. Specialty lighting is integrated from inside the storage, allowing the space to glow from within. The backyard garden was one more element of this redesign, and becomes an extended living area effortlessly accessed by way of the paned doors within the kitchen’s windowed wall.

For those passionate about purple, the spacious master suite is bathed in luscious lavender becoming a accurate dreamscape. The walk-in wardrobe is even sweeter, with lilac carpeting, a center island, deep pink drapery and zig-zag patterned ottomans resting beneath a glamorous, built-in mirrored vanity.

The Brooklyn Heights Townhouse is a contemporary dream home, a historical renovation exactly where the outcome is so sensational, one may possibly possibly overlook he or she is in a city dwelling.
