A Brooklyn townhouse, rebuilt from the shell.
On one of Brooklyn's most desirable blocks — taken down to its shell and rebuilt to the highest standard.
Down to the shell, up to the highest standard.
This home was taken down to its shell and rebuilt from the ground up — a new structural system, an excavated English basement with 9-foot ceilings, and direct access to a redesigned backyard.
Every detail was carefully planned and expertly executed — a modern, luxurious home built to the highest standards.
Finished to the inch, room by room.
Chef's kitchen
Custom cabinetry, a stone waterfall island, and pro-grade appliances at the heart of the home.
Custom staircases
Sculptural stairs in wood and blackened steel, tying every floor of the home together.
Spa baths, radiant heat
Full-slab marble, frameless glass, and radiant heated floors underfoot.
From the parlor to the backyard.
An English basement that opens to the yard, a rear deck, and private outdoor space — this home lives well beyond its walls.
Every angle.
The full build.

A full gut of a townhouse typically runs about 12–20 months, depending on scope, landmark or DOB requirements, and finishes. You get a written schedule up front and clear milestones throughout.
Yes. As an NYC DOB-licensed builder we handle the full permit package and coordinate any Landmarks or DOB approvals your block requires.
Yes — underpinning and excavation to add ceiling height and create a proper English basement with backyard access is one of our specialties, as on this project.
Absolutely. We preserve and restore the character of the facade while completely modernizing the structure and every system behind it.
Everything: new structure, roof, windows, insulation, HVAC, plumbing and electrical, custom kitchen and spa baths, staircases, and finish carpentry — all managed by one crew, start to finish.
