FORBES TOWNHOUSE Park Slope, Brooklyn Abelow Sherman Architects Partner-in-Charge: David Sherman Contractor: Top Drawer Construction Photographer: Mikiko Kikuyama Completed: 2007 Project Team: Rosie Donovan, Mara Ayuso This project upgrades a brownstone in the Park Slope Historic District in a distinctive manner. The clients are both trained in the visual arts, and have well-developed sensibilities about how a house is used as well as how elements from certain eras can interact visually. A lively dialogue has resulted in a design in which the architectural and construction interventions appear as a subtle background to the decorating. The intended effect is that the structure of each room appears to have a “timeless” quality, while the fit-ups, loose furniture, and lighting appear more contemporary. Thus the bathrooms are sheathed in mosaic tile, with a rough texture, and of indeterminate origin. The color palette is generally muted. The fixtures however are modern Italian. A kitchen features rough brick walls and exposed wood beams, as crooked as can be, while the cabinets within are modernist overlay slabs of walnut veneer. Throughout the house, the visible components include thick Cararra marble, new mahogany windows with weights-and-pulleys, new steel sash windows and doors, and period light fixtures. What is not seen is a state-of-the-art infrastructure consisting of a new hot water plant, structured cabling, new electrical service and plumbing piping. Because of an unusual relationship with its site, there is no backyard to speak of, only an eight foot deep space between the building’s first floor extension and the property line. In order to offset this problem, a series of Ipe wood decks were designed, and very precisely built to less than 1/8 inch tolerance. There is a deck of some kind on each floor from the basement to the third floor. On the exterior, the brownstone facade was completely restored. All of this was achieve

This beautiful in-frame classic shaker kitchen features a cock beaded front frame, a deep blue hand painted finish, oak veneered carcasses, solid oak drawer boxes and many other features. The exposed brick is a stunning backdrop while the white quartz offers a standout surface. The kitchen has a 100mm in-line plinth which has allowed for an additional 50mm length to each door which is a unique and truly bespoke design feature. There is a walk-in pantry to the right of the fridge/freezer which is neatly hidden behind a translucent glass door – this offers extended worksurface and storage, plus a great place to hide the microwave and toaster. The island is joined to a sawn oak breakfast bar/dining table which is something unique and includes storage below. We supplied and installed some high-end details such as the Wolf Built-in oven, Induction hob and downdraft extractor, plus a double butler sink from Shaw's and a Perrin & Rowe tap. The taps include an instant boiling water tap and a pull-out rinse. springer digital
