The owner had a series of requests that included opening the backyard facade to bring light into the basement and parlor floor, an entertainment rooftop, a children’s playroom, and four bedrooms.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="#" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="433" data-original-width="649" height="427" src="http://88designbox.com/upload/2023/03/03/fisher-townhouse-in-brooklyn-by-mq-architecture-02.jpg" width="640"></a></div><p>Once the design was approved, we worked with the expeditor to get the permit process started. The process included lowering the cellar floor and working with a wall to wall metal lintel that allowed us to remove the brick facade. The structural challenge was increased by introducing a large glass window.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="#" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="433" data-original-width="649" height="427" src="http://88designbox.com/upload/2023/03/03/fisher-townhouse-in-brooklyn-by-mq-architecture-03.jpg" width="640"></a></div><p>The way we designed this project maximized the use of the 18 foot wide block. We proposed service elements on the middle, which freed up both ends of the block for the public program. The entry level has a continuous flow from living space into kitchen, onto the garden/bbq area with a large exterior dining space. The basement has a large gym/lounge area that leads to a sunken courtyard with a hot tub, which ends with an exterior stair into the garden.</p><span></span>
