Park Slope Duplex
This quirky apartment actually had three odd levels, but no closets. You entered at the top floor through a tiny kitchen. Then a spiral stair dropped through a low sleep loft on its way to a garden-level studio at bottom. The awkward rooms were cluttered and squeezed.
We reconfigured the kitchen to widen counters, add storage, and clear the entry. Now, a hearth, mantel, and countertop all made of soapstone unify the floor. At the sleep loft, a bold red headboard hides new storage. Downstairs, we added a new walk-in closet. And a rolling ladder reaches new cabinets high over the piano.
All the rooms overlook the owner’s garden. The newly composed space remains a curious sectional puzzle. But with stuff now tidily stowed, the space serves as a backdrop for the patterns and colors of the owner’s collections.
