Coburn Architecture. Brendan Coburn, the principal, grew up in a Brklyn brownstone and did gut-reno his own, so knows the spaces very well. Sensitivity to historic detail and great flair for contemporary. We were very impressed with his knowledge of structural issues. He's got a wonderful, full-service team and good relationships with a range of contractors. They just renovated our brownstone top to bottom, and it has been as positive experience as something that stressful could possibly be. Good luck!

1100 architect - see Brooklyn Heights renovation in this month's Architectural Digest. Beautiful with a new glass rear!

Check the website archrecord.com to find the architects that are responsible for buildings and restaurants that you like. It's an amazing site that gives the details of all the people, materials and sources for each project. I think that Bentel and Bentel are incredible!

Our cousins are architects. That seems to be their style. They did our apartment in Manhattan. Traditional. And did our uncle's place (traditional outside, modern inside) down south.

a friend of mine had a great experience with Steven Harris Architects for his brownstone in Brooklyn Heights. They managed to combine a modern sensibility with a great respect for the historic details of the house. It's pretty amazing.

I would recommend Agencie Architects. They're smart designers, very affordable, and currently working on our townhouse in Toronto (we moved from NY).

The real question here is your budget... if you are willing to spend $$$...

A friend of mine works for Deborah Berke & Partners and is currently working on a gut reno of a historic townhouse (upper west side), all new steel structure and everything. They do lots of types of work, but are well known for their residential.

(They will be similar in price to Steven Harris, noted above, FYI)

I would be happy to see and discuss your project.
Our firm does many townhouse renovations each year in brooklyn. I could take you to a project just completed that respects all the original details while inserting modern elements throughout. The client and I are very happy with this combination.
