Watermark House
This semi attached brick townhouse had a dark garden level that didn’t take advantage of its three exposures. The parlor floor was also painted in dark tones and had not been updated in more than 50 years. The beautiful stair, pocket doors, and fireplace mantel were the only intact details worth saving. The clients have a relationship with Watermark Designs plumbing fixtures based in Brooklyn, New York, and the kitchen and bathrooms were designed to be the show pieces of the renovated spaces. The garden level was completely opened up. A new entry vestibule lined in porcelain tiles that step into the living spaces directs the view toward the kitchen in the center of the floor.
