The family of four, a husband and wife working in the publishing field, and their two daughters, lived in the house for ten years before deciding to do an extension to expand their kitchen and to create bigger rooms for their two daughters.
The clients for this wood frame townhouse renovation and extension wanted a house full of saturated color, pattern, texture, and light, with Art Deco and mid-century touches and reclaimed materials.
This semi-attached brick townhouse had a dark garden level that didn’t take advantage of its three exposures. The parlor floor was also painted in dark tones and had not been updated in more than 50 years.
The family hired BFDO to help them create three duplexes and a private suite for him and his wife, which required the addition of three new stairs to connect the two floors in each unit and maintain a common access to the roof terrace, rear yard and cellar.
