CROWN HEIGHTS BROWNSTONE

Professional : Coughlin Architecture Under Construction Brooklyn, New York Spring 2020

- My role in the following project was the project manager. I aided in making schematic design decisions, producing the construction set including plans, sections, rcps, material takeoffs, schedules, demo and details, and the entirety of the graphic work. I also interfaced with the client, the engineers, and the contractors for the bidding process.The project is located in the Crown Heights neigbhorhood of Brooklyn. The design transformed the two family home into three units, through the addition of another level and a 7’ extension onto the rear of the brownstone. Keeping with the existing character of the building particular to the brownstone context, the facade was kept largely the same, save for the additional story on the third level. The extension on the rear of the building also provided an opportunity for each unit to have a private patio. The addition and extension for the building is to be constructed out of corrugated metal

1 _ ROOF PLAN

The roof shows the new bulkhead, the coordination of required solar panels, fire access, a new roof deck for tenants, and the modern and newly occupiable roof from what once was a non-accessible asphalt roof space.

The plan shows the 7’ rear addition, as well as a main bedroom that now has access to a front patio space built from the brownstone detailing.

ELEVATIONS AND MATERIAL TAKEOFFS

Coordinated with a window schedule, the elevations notate the existing conditions and the new additions and the final facades.
