n Williamsburg, Brooklyn, the
new building at 103 Grand St.
has the perfect location. Only
two blocks from Domino Park, it
is also situated across the street from the
new William Sheridan Playground and
PS 084, one of the few public schools in
New York City that offer French-English
dual language programs. The building's
architecture and interiors, too, make it a
coveted place to live.
Built by Rise Development led by
Lawrence Rafalovich and with land-
scaping by Jeff Mendoza Gardens,
the project was designed by Vincent
Appel, founder of design studio Of
Possible — with Cristina Webb as the
project lead — as an ode to the spirit
of this iconic neighborhood. Originally
erected in 1910 as a historic row house,
it was softly and respectfully transformed
into a 7,300-square-foot building which
spreads across seven floors and
consists of two duplexes and one triplex
with a lofted mezzanine bedroom and
rooftop penthouse. Each unit has its own
outdoor space. Memories from living in
old warehouse lofts in Williamsburg were
the main inspiration.
