Fresh Faces on My Brownstone

Now that we finally got off our ass and found someone to fix the bug that had been plaguing My Brownstone for the past few months, the flood gates are opening! We’ve seen a bunch of new sign-ups over the last few days and a couple folks actually started uploading photos over the weekend. One of them claims that the addition he built to his South Slope brick house is the “best party room in Brooklyn!” We’ll let you be the judge of that. Check it out on the link.
South Slope Brick [My Brownstone]
i think we’re all having fantasies of building one of these! i was wondering about the heating too.
I love your addition, Robert. I have a fantasy of something similar for my Crown Heights House: I imagine a Victorian conservatory attached to the back of the house with a hot tub and palm trees.
three questions for you Bob. 1st – echo the question about the glass maintenance from 10:02, 2) is this a structure that requires permits and plans for filed with some or all of City agencies? It sounds like a permanent structure given the smoking area for guests on the top?. #rd question – did you provide for some sort of seperate heating (electric blower) or did you tie it back into the main house seating by tapping into whatever was in your kitchen? BTW, it was so inspiring I went outside and measured by back wall, even if only to dream about having something like this. Thanks for the post.
not to be a downer (i love the idea of a greenhouse), but how hard is it to keep all that glass clean? do you have any photos of what it looks like when it isn’t pristine? the outside of the glass is exposed to a lot of city elements…
We have a 12ft.x50 brick with an apt. building next door that will prob. limit our ability to to do an extensive addition. So your design looks perfect. This is pretty much what I was imagining for our addition. Our dream is to do something like this giving us something like a family/guest/sunroom.
The Crown Heights house is AMAZING! Love the cellar…
Very nice! Please tell us who did it.
Your trees are beautiful/bushes are beautiful, what are they?
That addition is very nice. Who did it for the owners?
