Text details provided by architects. Greenpoint Townhouse is an active, traveling lifestyle with the root sensations of the house. The design of New York -based Lea Architecture prioritizes utility and marriage Brooklyn And the Swedish aesthetics, which maximizes confidentiality and family space over a retail site on the lower floor of the property.
The house, the renewal of the studio for a family dividing its time between Stockholm and the city of New York, adds a two-family residential location to a wide, three-storey upper duplex. The design preserves commercial space and four-car garage at the lower level of the building, with an expansion on the garage in the upper living areas as an extension on the garage. The Lea Architecture re-designed and refreshed the external mask, and upgraded energy. The design team also added a stand-out, maroon color-block bathroom for the dash of boldness for the overall palette.
All three floors of the house are attached to a custom, geometric wooden ladder. It acts as a spine for the house, flowing sculptically between each place. The ladder plays with the hot wooden casswork of the kitchen, which produces a feeling of continuity between levels, ends in a rapraound feature that ends as the headboard of the primary bedroom.
