Douglas Elliman recently unveiled a collection of condominium units at Parlour, one of the latest residential buildings to debut in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Located at 243 Fourth Avenue, the 12-story building contains 16 half-floor units and three full-floor penthouses.
Designed in collaboration by INC Architecture & Design and Fischer+Makooi, the building is described as a modern reinterpretation of the Brooklyn brownstone, with inspiration drawn from the borough’s historic architecture and Prospect Park’s signature arched bridges. The arch is an ever-present motif in the building’s design and is evidenced in the signature façade, lobby, and reception spaces.

The most recent collection of residences from Douglas Elliman include a five-bedroom, four-bathroom penthouse now available for $4.5 million. The remaining four properties range from three- to four-bedrooms and are priced from $2.2 to $2.57 million.
Each home features floor-to-ceiling arched windows with no mullions, offering panoramic views of the surrounding neighborhood. The homes also include smart temperature controls, private balconies, furnished appliances, and a variety of natural materials throughout the bathrooms and kitchens.

What is missing on these renderings, it’s beautiful so not difficult to think about it: Hello New York YIMBY.
People!
Fortunately this the contractors did not succeed in nearly killing anyone else minding their own business. How is the victim? Will she ever walk again? If she has a decent lawyer, perhaps she will be the owner of this dreck.
This resembles in no way whatsoever the lovely, human-scale brownstones of Park Slope. For starters, there is no brownstone. The windows are not related. The fancy aspect is a nice attempt (brownstones were built as decidedly upscale dwellings) but the design is spare, modern, and certainly not evocative of the Victorian style. YIMBY and architects, please stop this stupid comparison!
Would be lovely in old New York. But now its just a waste. Soon the vandals will occupy it. And deblasio & wife & city council will approve.
