Boerum Hill House
This landmark-district building was falling into the street. To stabilize the structure, we had to rebuild the 30′ of exterior masonry and add heavy timber trusses.
But by leaving these exposed, we revealed the origins of the Boerum Hill house. Before our conversion, it was a church. And before that, a warehouse. We kept the industrial character and basic plan.
Deep skylights now light the double-height space, furnished with a 20′ long table made of fir planks. Small spaces on and under the old choir loft make for cozy alternatives to the big room.
