WINDSOR TERRACE EXTENSION

Project Overview

Located in the quiet residential neighborhood of Windsor Terrace, Brooklyn, this project involved a 180 SF two- story extension to a single-family home to add new bedrooms and a redesigned kitchen. A seamless connection was created between the existing structure and the new extension, maximizing square footage for a growing family. 

Zoning & Structural Analysis

A full feasibility study was conducted to maximize the Allowable Floor Area Ratio (FAR) while complying with rear and side-yard setbacks. The structural scope involved extending the existing foundation and new slab on grade. 

Connecting Indoor and Outdoor Spaces

The design focuses on blurring the lines between inside and out. Foor-to-ceiling glass sliders open directly onto the new patio, flooding the deep floor plate with natural light. The result is an airy, open-concept kitchen and living space that feels significantly larger than its footprint.
