The Windsor Place Rowhouse was renovated by Baker Freeman Design Office. The scope of renovation included the development of transformative insertions which can be seen through the existing building fabric. Meanwhile, the residence is a Brooklyn rowhouse occupied by a family of four.

The Renovation

The first stage of the project involved slicing out all interior partitions and cutting out the rear façade to establish a large room that would bring light deep within the house’s interior.

Focused on the first floor, the designing firm extended it and subdivided into four main spaces; living room, family room, dining room, and kitchen.  The living room was set at the front and circumscribed by the bay window façade and entry vestibule.

The room was also oriented toward the brick heart which was uncovered during the demolishment.
