In a Brooklyn townhouse gut renovation by architect Elizabeth Roberts, the parlor floor kitchen was opened up with steel-framed windows, a new kitchen island, and a fireplace turned wood-fired grill (the owners cook often).
The kitchen is at the back of the building, which in most Brooklyn Italiante structures is cramped and dark.
A classic bridge faucet paired with a stainless sink overlooks the garden.
The bulk of the renovation budget went into the kitchen.
A custom grill designed for restaurant kitchens with a crank to adjust the height of the grill inside.
