A fresh chapter.
From the inside out.
The finished rooms are one part of the Gerritt Street story. Before the white cabinets and the exposed-brick living room came demolition, open joists, new framing and the work beneath the floor.
Follow the house through those stages, from the first strip-out to the breakfast nook, bathrooms and finished front facade.
Go back to
the beginning.
The work behind
the finished walls.
The construction photographs follow new wall framing, ceiling work and the rebuilding of the rear connection. These are the stages that sit between the first demolition and the rooms in the finished listing.
Later views bring the same interior story into focus: exposed brick, a new stair railing and light floors running through the living space.

The kitchen bench has its own construction story. The project photographs show the frame coming together beneath the window, before the breakfast nook became part of the finished kitchen.
A bench becomes
a breakfast nook.
White cabinets, a dark backsplash and a built-in seat beneath the window. The finished kitchen brings the bench into the everyday life of the room.

Exposed joists, stripped walls and the original staircase mark the beginning. Follow the interior framing and brick-wall work through to the bright living room, black railing and finished upstairs hall.
