Putnam Townhouse actually is a Brownstone that is located in Brooklyn, New York. Primarily, the house was built in 1884. The designer opt to adopt Neo-Grec style. When they house is being purchased in 2016, it was in an intense state of disrepair. All in all, the project was similar with surgical gut renovation where all of the electrical, plumbing as well as its mechanical system required to be heaved out without causing disturbance to the moulding that remains and also the woodwork. The renovation could bring back the life of the house, thus it is able to empower the ornate historic aspects by seamlessly assimilating minimal, modern updates that quietly respect rather than compete with the gravitas of the original details.
The design of the Putnam Townhouse had barely been altered since the home was first built, so the 19th century design with more distribution and small rooms, required to be converted in to latest spaces in which works for the way we live in the 21st century. The rear of the parlour was opened up with a massive arch in which both of them are modern and nostalgic. Thus the design also allowed the home to have a generous kitchen space with a little bit original divisions of the townhouse. Furthermore, the open arched also could be found on the master bedroom in which allowed for a private dressing room and the private passage that are connecting the master bedroom with the master bathroom.
Actually, the Putnam Townhouse is aimed to be the owner’s forever home, and it was essential for the house to be able to aid a growing family as well as the changing requirements. This renovation actually was finished on a modest budget, and high priority of the project was to modify the bottom floor of the house, so it could create two bedroom income-assimilating apartment, but construct it so that the family who lives there could easily salvage that space in the future.
