Prospect Heights Row House

When we found this house, it was a degraded kennel. But even before its fall, it suffered from common row house ailments: dark in the middle and spatially flat. Carving out the center of the house solved both problems. Now, a long slot of a skylight spills daylight into the double-height dining room, about which the rooms on both floors are arrayed. To disperse the light, one bedroom wall is translucent, and the other is open shelves. A two-story storage tower wrapped in copper distinguishes the foyer.
