Emerging architecture studio Only If completes an unusual new-build home in Brooklyn; welcome to Narrow House An architect’s craft is often measured when faced with the most awkward of plots – and in the case of this Brooklyn home, emerging architecture studio Only If proved itself to have both flair and skill. Narrow House is a new-build property in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighbourhood, and sits in an atypical, less than 4.5m-wide lot .
The studio, which is headed by partners Adam Snow Frampton and Karolina Czeczek, tackled the challenge with aplomb. ‘Despite its non-conformity, the site met other specific criteria that enabled the development of the vacant lot. Since 1961, the Zoning Resolution has generally prohibited new residential buildings on lots less than 18ft [5.5m] in width,’ the architects explain.
In the case of Narrow House, the architects focused on light and volume, working with a simple, orthogonal box exterior, which contains four levels, united by a glorious, open staircase that connects all floors and allows sunlight and air to circulate.
The raised ground floor hosts the living spaces, with two bedrooms and a study above – each of which has plenty of storage to make sure there is no clutter. Instead, there is a sense of space throughout. A fairly restrained colour and material palette – such as concrete, black perforated metal, black stained oak, and black terrazzo – also support aPhotography: Iwan Baan
