A partial renovation of a 4,000 square foot townhouse overlooking Prospect Park, this project transformed the parlour level of a Brooklyn residential townhouse into a masterclass in indoor-outdoor living — without touching what didn't need to be touched.

The gut renovation of the parlour floor began with demolition of the existing rear wall, replaced entirely by a custom wall of sliding glass partitions that open the living space directly onto a new teak and steel deck. The connection between interior and exterior is seamless — on open days the boundary between the two disappears entirely, with the green spaces of the surrounding Prospect Park neighborhood pulling the eye through and beyond. The deck itself is a precision construction: teak decking on a steel frame, built to the same standard as the interior finishes.

At the front facade, the existing bay window was replaced and expanded with custom teak windows — a material that threads through the project from front to back and signals the level of craft at work from the street. The expanded bay floods the parlour with natural light and reads as an architectural upgrade to the building's facade, consistent with the character of the surrounding Park Slope, Brooklyn streetscape.

Inside, the entry closet was removed to open the floor plan and a custom furniture piece was built in its place, improving flow from entry to living without sacrificing storage logic. Millwork was introduced on the upper floors, painted throughout, adding detail and cohesion to the home's interior design language without a full gut renovation of those levels. HVAC and plumbing were addressed as part of the parlour level scope.

Furniture selection for the entire home was handled by Mammoth — every piece visible in the photos was sourced, specified, and placed as part of a full-service design-build engagement. The result is a home renovation that reads as complete and considered from the front stoop to the rear deck.

For townhouse owners in Park Slope, Brooklyn and the surrounding Prospect Park neighborhoods, this project demonstrates what a design-build firm can accomplish in a partial scope: targeted demolition, framing, custom construction, and interior design delivered as a single integrated process. Where the project touched the front facade, work was executed in compliance with applicable preservation standards for the neighborhood.
