BAY RIDGE EXTENSION

How do we connect house + garden?

Situated in a remarkably intact string of twenty-four bow-fronted rowhouses, this particular townhouse features a haphazard and unlawful rear extension. The property’s twenty foot width makes for tight quarters during construction:

• how to build in confined urban setting?
• how to extend house + preserve daylight to existing spaces?
• how to use materials to connect indoors + outdoors?
• how to blend historic + contemporary details ?
