By
Kate Mazade
Summary
Pliskin Architecture has completed the Leonard Street Rowhouse, a 6,000-square-foot two-family home on an infill lot in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. The design features an interlocking brick entry programme that creates a "welcoming threshold" while fitting into the brick context of the neighborhood. The project reimagines the rowhouse typology by nesting a townhouse and a penthouse behind a unified brick facade, blending contemporary design with the existing architectural fabric of the street.
