Brooklyn
Where we work
Rowhouse neighborhoods with flat roofs nobody uses yet. Each page covers the housing stock, the landmark rules, and what usually gets built there.
Prospect Lefferts Gardens
Brooklyn
Limestone and brownstone rowhouses east of Prospect Park, much of it inside a historic district, with flat roofs that were never designed as living space.
Park Slope
Brooklyn
Dense brownstone blocks where outdoor space carries a measurable premium and rear yards are already spoken for.
Fort Greene
Brooklyn
Italianate brownstone and brick rowhouses around Fort Greene Park, on some of the most intact 19th-century blocks in the borough.
Clinton Hill
Brooklyn
Mansion-scale rowhouses and mid-century apartment buildings on wide, tree-lined blocks.
Crown Heights
Brooklyn
Deep rowhouse blocks and pre-war apartment buildings with unusually generous footprints for their floor counts.
Bedford-Stuyvesant
Brooklyn
One of the largest concentrations of intact 19th-century rowhouses in the United States, and one of the largest concentrations of unused flat roof.
Bushwick
Brooklyn
Mixed low-rise residential and former industrial stock, with fewer landmark constraints and correspondingly more design freedom.
