Adding a penthouse perch to this 1899 row house with a harbor view demanded unusual tactics. To circumvent municipal limitations on floor area, a section of floor was removed from one level and “transferred” to the roof as a new studio space. To comply with local height limitations, an innovative structure of solid wood studs was deployed to reduce floor and ceiling thicknesses to the bare minimum. Aside from creating the desired rooftop refuge, these gymnastics also created a dynamic cascade of interior living spaces for an urban designer and his family. Photos by Bruce Buck.

Teak wood was chosen for the master bathroom vanity because of its association with boats and water, reminding the owner of her travels. The cool bluish and greenish wall colors and tile were chosen for the same reason.

Rustic reclaimed woods are used for sconces, mirror frame, and countertop. River rock sinks with wall mounted stone faucets are placed on a floating countertop covered with unfinished reclaimed wood. On the left, there is a recessed shelving for toilettries. Eco-friendly handmade octagonal terracotta tiles are used for flooring.
