Brent Buck Architects has renovated and expanded the Clinton Hill Townhouse in New York, United States.

A series of interventions creates a set of cohesive but distinct spaces in this Brooklyn townhouse renovation.

The scale of rooms, materiality and circulation were influenced by existing elements, allowing for new and old to work in tandem, while a brick-clad rear addition provides space for a larger kitchen, with a floating counter overlooking a walled garden.

Two new straight run stairs stack one on top of the other, allowing for views through the building, as well as daylighting from two skylights.

In addition, at the uppermost level, the stairs conclude in a wood-clad room and connect to a roof terrace.

This project has been longlisted in the house renovation category of Dezeen Awards 2025.
