In reconfiguring an 1899 Brooklyn townhouse for a family of three generations, design studio TBo were tasked with building out both separate and communal spaces for people to gather. The parlor floor is designed for the young family and the garden level for the grandparents, and an extension on the parlor floor was created to house the kitchen and dining bay. Here, we profile the key elements of the parlor kitchen with sources to match.
