This Federal house was originally built in 1780 and the current owner reached out to the One Source Team with a desire to add more natural light and modern style, all while bringing back some long-lost historical character.

New pre-finished maple flooring was installed as part of our renovation of this small studio apartment. FSC certified fumed larch veneer is used for the new lower cabinets. Wood shelves with sliding glass fronts provide upper storage. Stainless steel appliances and white subway tile make the open kitchen modern. A butcher block top cart and a stainless steel table and benches complete the eating area. The bare wood walls above were stripped of their paint before being sealed to take advantage of the vintage building's natural beauty. Just visible is the custom Mason jar light fixture our firm fabricated and installed Photo Credit: Molly DeCoudreaux

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

Jennifer McKenna Photography Making a room work with existing pieces of furniture is not always easy. In this living room the homeowner had already purchased the chairs, coffee table and sofa. The hutch was a family heirloom and had to stay. Everything else is new. Most proud of finding a rug to work in this space from Surya!

What we did in the kitchen/ living space: We updated the kitchen counter with an engineered quartz counter top a-la waterfall edge detail and expanded the counter depth to include and overhang for counter-height bar seating. All of the lighting was upgraded to energy efficient LED lighting, new wide-plank engineered oak flooring throughout, and a comfy sofa from Room & Board. As for the space and the artwork...it's not just a pretty composition, but it should personally resonate with the client. We are story tellers when it comes to designing spaces. What's your story???? In this particular detail, we had graphic/ abstract prints made (by Jenna Sue Maps from Etsy) from some of our client's favorite cities he has visited. We could have filled up the whole wall and then some... Chris Haver Photography

La parete di fondo con carta da parati a colori caldi rende l'ambiente molto accogliente. Gli arredi in legno riprendono il parquet in rovere con posa a spina italiana. Sopra il volume del bagno trova posto un piccolo soppalco con un "frame" molto leggero in legno, ed una rete sospesa come ulteriore spazio lettura e relax.

La partie salon mène au RDC et à l'étage des enfants Le mur en pierre d'origine disposait de 2 fenêtres condamnées dans le passé, nous les avons transformées en niches déco et créé un bandeau horizontale qui agrandit visuellement l'espace relativement restreint. Nous avons créé de part et d'autre de la cheminée deux éléments de bibliothèque avec rangements bas fermés. La TV prend place au dessus de la cheminée, le fond de la bibliothèque joue le rappel avec la cuisine puisqu'il reprend le même rose. Le luminaire de 136cm de diamètre est un élément remarquable de la décoration, qui sera très prochainement complétée par le mobilier commandé pour le projet. Un escalier colimaçon dessiné pour le projet prendra place pour accéder au R+2. L'escalier menant au RDC existant très raide de type "pas japonais" reçoit désormais une main courante rétroéclairée dessinée pour le projet afin d'assurer la sécurité.

Compact spaces require efficiency in both surroundings and objects. The kitchen counter depth was expanded to include a dining surface, and the height adjustable coffee table makes the living space multi-functional. Chris Haver Photography
