Prospect Heights Brownstone

Dining room with mixed colored leather chairs, a wood table, and a large colorful painting on the wall.

A common challenge of remodeling New York City brownstones is utilizing narrow rear extensions, and this Prospect Heights brownstone was no different. Creative solutions allowed us to make the most of the house's every corner.

Narrow extension in a Park Slope home converted into a dining area with large sliding glass NanaWalls leading out to the rear yard

The NanaWall door system uses only a fraction of the wall thickness as a traditional wall, increasing the interior width of the extension and creating an outdoor living area when opened.

Alongside BIA Interiors, we opted for a modern kitchen and dining room, relocating trim and paneling to other areas of the home.
