由建筑师为其家人设计并全面装修的这座1600平方英尺（包括地下室）住宅，低调而精致，富有质感和叙事性。无论你往哪里看，总会发现一些奇特而美丽的东西，背后都有迷人的故事：正面外立面铺有炭烧的铁杉，并采用一种古老的日本木材处理方式，称为烧杉版。地板是来自佛蒙特州的森林拯救的胡桃木。后立面则是用一座旧谷仓的回收波纹钢制成的。后院里生长着一株百年 Muscat 葡萄藤。

然而，与回收材料形成对比的是，电气和管道都是全新的，区域供暖和制冷系统也是。厨房配备了大理石台面、定制橱柜和开放的波罗的海桦木架子。客厅里摆放着一台经典的丹麦木柴炉。

顶层有两个宽敞而明亮的卧室。一间由天窗照明的开放空间可用作办公室或育婴室。浴室的石板地板由辐射热加热。地下室配备了洗衣机/干衣机，充足的储存空间，带淋浴的第二间浴室，以及一个可以作为工作室或手工艺工作室的空间。还有许多美丽的内置储物柜和衣橱，供你存放物品。

便利于 Gowanus 和南公园坡所提供的一切：附近的餐馆包括 Alma Negra、Bombolona Bakehouse、The Common Park Slope、Luo’s Burgers、Dirty Precious、SweetTalk 和以派著称的 Four and Twenty Blackbirds。Whole Foods 在步行可达范围内，F、G 和 R 线地铁也近在咫尺。不要错过这栋房子。当建筑师为自己设计时，翻修通常会做到严格的标准，结果是卓越的。这栋房子绝对卓越！

Designed and fully renovated by an architect for her family, this 1600 SF (including full basement) home is understated but sophisticated, textured and narrative-rich. Everywhere you look, you find something strangely beautiful with a fascinating backstory: The front facade is clad with charred hemlock, with an ancient Japanese wood treatment called shou sugi ban. The floors are forest-salvaged butternut from Vermont. The rear facade is clad with reclaimed corrugated steel from an old barn. A 100 year-old muscat grape vine grows in the backyard.

In contrast to the reclaimed materials, however, the electrical and plumbing are brand new, as is the zoned heating and cooling. The kitchen is outfitted with marble counters, custom cabinets and open baltic birch shelving. In the living room sits a classic Danish wood-burning stove.

The top floor has two bedrooms, each spacious and bright. An open space lit by a skylight serves as an office or nursery. The slate floor in the bathroom is warmed by radiant heat. The basement is outfitted with a washer/dryer, plenty of storage space, a second bathroom with shower, and room for a workshop or crafts studio. There are many beautiful built-ins and closets to store your things.

Convenient to all that both Gowanus and South Park Slope have to offer: Nearby restaurants include Alma Negra, Bombolona Bakehouse, The Common Park Slope, Luo’s Burgers, Dirty Precious, SweetTalk, and Four and Twenty Blackbirds, famous for pie. Whole Foods is within easy walking distance, as are the F, G and R trains. Don't miss this house. When architects design for themselves the renovation is often done to exacting standards and the result is exceptional. This house is definitely exceptional!
