Overview
A ground-up two-family in Park Slope, built in the “kangaroo” format on a 25 × 100 lot — a new three-story, four-bedroom residence wrapped around the original two-story cottage, which stays attached at the belly and works as a separate rental.

Two houses, one envelope
The original two-bedroom cottage was reborn as a luxury rental and folded into a new three-story owner’s residence built around it. The 25-foot-wide lot left room for a proper walkway and a private entrance for the owner.
