Cumberland Street Townhouse
The Cumberland Street Townhouse, located in Fort Greene, was completely transformed with a new rear wall and a two-story addition at the back of the house. Interior steel and glass windows mimic the two-story exterior glazing, and doors at the garden level open completely to merge the kitchen and dining area with the outdoor space.
Vines were planted in recessed planters along the double-height party walls, adding an organic quality as the garden melds with the interior. The top of the addition serves as a private balcony for the primary bedroom.
