14 + 9 Townhouses is a development for a two-acre urban renewal site had been vacant for more than sixty years. Positioned between the commercial core of downtown Brooklyn and the historic neighborhoods of Boerum Hill, Brooklyn Heights and Cobble Hill, the first 14 Townhouses served as an anchor for the planned block-long redevelopment by reconnecting the site to its adjacent brownstone neighbors. The site flanks and adjoins five Italianate townhouses that are listed on the National Register. To the south, across State Street, is a row of Greek revival townhouses, many also listed on the National Register. The buildings complete the first full block of townhomes in Brooklyn in over a century. The exterior façade of each new home features both brick and metal accents. The façades cant subtly in contrast to the black metal framed window openings which maintain the streetwall. Generously large windows allow sunlight to flood through the front side and 10ft wide patio doors expose the dining room and kitchen to a private landscaped back yard. The focal design moment of the 14 +9 series is the final, corner townhouse, substantially clad in copper and textured black brick. An open-air, punched out corner terrace, framed in copper is a highlight to the massing.
