Plaudits
NYC Historic Districts Council
"..a
sensitive new design that is contextual and handsome without being a
facsimile,
in a
functional sense, of a carriage house. The design...will contribute to
the architectural
integrity and richness of the historic district."

• Solution
The architect apprised the
clients that it was in their best interest to expand
the bulk of the structure to the maximum that the
Zoning Resolution permitted,
and to transform the architecture into a style more
befitting the Brooklyn
Heights Historic District within which it is located.
