The Eckford Residence is a comprehensive renovation and vertical expansion of a Brooklyn wood-frame house built in 1901. Situated on a 25-foot-wide lot, the project addresses the dual constraints of site and program, transforming a two-family home into a 3,670-square-foot single-family residence for a family of four. The design accommodates evolving domestic requirements, particularly the need for distinct work and living spaces, while adhering to strict zoning and environmental standards.
