Nan tèt Brooklyn Heights, vil la, sa a kay ki fèt selon demann yo, rekonstriksyon sa a ap tann dèyè yon fasad itali ki gen prezans sòti nan ane 1870 yo. Tout eleman estriktirèl, mekanik, ak estetik yo te ajou pou pi gwo estanda pandan y ap prezève karaktè ak pwopòsyon kay yo ki pi admire nan katye a. Ki fèt nan edisyon janvye 2026 AD100 nan Architectural Digest, kay sa a marie achitekti pa Michael Ingui, enteryè pa Remy Renzullo, ak peyizaj pa Nathalie Pierrepont nan yon inyon harmonye.

Brownstone nan oryante sou yon ti lari izole ki fini ak vizyon sinematografik sou pò New York ak vi sou jaden istorik ki ranpli gwo fenèt ki fè fas a nò. Pou sid la, yon desann nan nivo vle di jaden teras yo jwi vi ki plen syèl ki sou tèt do kay vwazen yo, tout wout rive nan Verrazano Bridge. Lòt laj (24’) ak pwofondè tè a (jiska 125’) ogmante plis vi prive ak limyè. Yon jaden franse fòmèl mete an valè simetrik ak long vi, ak chemen gravye ak parterres toujou vèt ki koupe. Plantaj ki trankilman òdone ak vèt ki gen plizyè kouch kreye entimite, estrikti, ak yon rit vizyèl kalm.

Dèyè fasad ki retabli ak pòt mawon ki grave, estrikti a ak anvlòp la te konplètman rekonstriksyon: soti nan fondasyon perimetrik pou rive nan kad kòb metal, etaj nivle, ak yon sèlè ekseka ki pèmèt plafon ki eksepsyonèlman wo. Tout sistèm mekanik yo nouvo depi elektrik pou plonbri pou HVAC ak sekirite, tout se dènye kri. Batiman an te elaji nan etaj jaden ak sal salon, ak yon mi vè ki fèt sou demann pa Riviera Bronze ki louvri sou teras manje ak kwizin andeyò.

Entyè yo balanse finisman likrativ ak detay ki kòrèk pou peryod la: planch blan ki fèt ak kè chadèk ki se stek, nouvo plâtre ak modil an bwa, ak chemine ki retabli ki ap travay ak mantèl ki nan peryod la. Sal salons elegant pou resepsyon ak dine etaj la – ak plafon prèske 13’ – mennen desann nan yon gran sal fanmi ak yon kwizin ki gen anpil vizaj, ak planch an moloch mou, yon zile an savon ak bar dejene, kontwa Carrara, ak yon ranje La Cornue Chateau ki gen yon kap ki fèt sou demann pou matche. Anba, yon teyat kay kouch, yon sal diven, ak yon jim te konplete ansanb la.

Sal dòmi ki laj yo konplè ak gran kabinè ki fèt sou demann ak twalèt ki kouvri ak moloch. Etaj prensipal la se yon oasis, ak chemine ki ap travay, de chanm pou chanjman, ak yon biwo elegant kote pòt franse ouvri sou yon teras sid ki gen ble vèt ki te kwazi. Twalèt prensipal la gen yon chanm douch ak de tèt nan moloch Calacatta ak slab marquina Nero, yon doub vanity ki gen chofaj, ak aparèy an kwiv ki pa laque pa Lefroy Brooks, ak yon tub ki kanpe pa Drummonds.

Karakteristik adisyonèl yo enkli yon pantry butler, odyo zoné, chanm pèsonèl, anpil karakteristik sekirite, ak yon chanm lave ki konplètman ekipe pou sipòte tou de lavi chak jou ak resepsyon. Sa a se pa yon renouvèlman tipik, men yon rekonstriksyon majistra nan yon anvlòp istwa. Pwopriyete sa a ap chèche yon achtè sofistike ki valè pwofondè ekzekisyon an menm jan ak konsepsyon ki reflechi.

At the apex of Brooklyn Heights, this bespoke, rebuilt mansion waits behind a stately 1870s Italianate façade. Every structural, mechanical, and aesthetic element has been updated to the highest standard while preserving the character and proportions of the neighborhood’s most admired homes. Featured in the January 2026 AD100 issue of Architectural Digest, this house marries architecture by Michael Ingui, interiors by Remy Renzullo, and landscape by Nathalie Pierrepont in a harmonious union.

The brownstone is oriented on a secluded cul-de-sac culminating in cinematic vistas of New York harbor with views over historic gardens filling tall north-facing windows. To the south, a drop in grade means the lush garden terraces enjoy sky-filled outlooks above neighboring rooflines, all the way to the Verrazano Bridge. The exceptionally wide (24’) and deep lot (up to 125’) further enhances privacy and light. A formal French garden emphasizes symmetry and long views, with gravel paths and clipped evergreen parterres. Quietly ordered plantings and layered greenery create intimacy, structure, and a calm visual rhythm.

Behind the restored façade and carved mahogany doors, the structure and envelope have been completely rebuilt: from perimeter foundation to steel framing, leveled floors, and an excavated cellar allowing exceptional ceiling heights. Entirely new mechanical systems from electrical to plumbing to HVAC and security are all state of the art. The building was extended at the garden and parlor floors and clad in antique brick, with a custom glass wall by Riviera Bronze opening to the dining terrace and outdoor kitchen.

Interiors balance luxurious finishes with period-correct detail: rift-sawn white oak floors, new plaster and wood moldings, and restored, working fireplaces with period mantels. The parlor floor's elegant entertaining and dining rooms – with nearly 13’ ceilings – lead down to a large family room and handsome eat-in kitchen, styled with honed marble floors, soapstone island and breakfast bar, Carrara counters, and a statement La Cornue Chateau range with custom hood to match. Below, a tiered home theater, wine cellar, and gym complete the ensemble.

Spacious bedroom suites are complete with custom closets and marble-clad baths. The primary bedroom floor is an oasis, with working fireplaces, two dressing rooms, and an elegant study where French doors open to a south terrace trimmed in bluestone. The primary bath features a dual-head shower room in Calacatta and Nero Marquina slab marble, a heated double vanity, unlacquered brass fixtures by Lefroy Brooks, and free-standing tub by Drummonds.

Additional features include a butler’s pantry, zoned audio, staff rooms, numerous security features, and a fully fitted laundry room to support both daily living and hosting. This is not a typical renovation, but a master reconstruction within a historic envelope. This property seeks a sophisticated buyer who values depth of execution as much as considered design.
