Carriage House Renovation with Addition

Grace Court Alley, Brooklyn Heights
 

The tax photo shows how the facade was configured in the 1940's with a set of large barn doors to accommodate a horse drawn carriage and two mismatched entry doors below three offset windows above.
 

Over the course of its life, the building had two of its lower doors reconfigured to house a handful of cars and a number of additions haphazardly erected in the rear.  An existing cellar had also been filled in which we are reclaiming.



The proposed elevation shows a modern interpretation of the original carriage doors and gives a glimpse of the penthouse addition to the roof that will not be visible from a public way. 

Office Space to Retail Bicycle Store Conversion

Robbins Lane, Syosset

The exterior of this former warehouse received a face lift when new owners moved in and leased out some of the spaces.

The inside remained largely untouched and open.

 

Although a majority of the store is dominated by the retail space which is set to be filled with racks for the bikes, we designed a mezzanine to create a space to house the repair shop below and high end bikes and profit area above.

 

Here we see the site nearing completion.  All surfaces have been painted and a self-leveling concrete topper is curing on the floor.
