Flatbush covers an unusually wide range of housing types for one neighborhood — grand freestanding Victorian houses in the landmarked Prospect Park South and Ditmas Park historic districts, and large prewar apartment buildings elsewhere in the neighborhood, home to one of Brooklyn's largest Caribbean immigrant communities. We're regularly asked to remodel kitchens in both, and they call for genuinely different approaches.
In the Victorian houses, kitchens are often larger and more flexible in layout than a typical rowhouse galley, sometimes with room for a genuine eat-in kitchen or island where the original floor plan allows it — though these homes also have their own dated electrical and plumbing systems that frequently need updating as part of any real renovation. In the prewar apartment buildings, kitchens tend to be more compact and co-op board approval is typically part of the process.
Flatbush's Victorian homes were largely built in the early 1900s as a planned suburban development, which means many share similar bones and construction details even where individual houses have been altered differently over the past century — useful context we draw on when we open a wall and find something unexpected.
From a full kitchen renovation in a Ditmas Park Victorian to a cabinet and countertop update in a prewar Flatbush apartment building, we adjust our approach to the specific building rather than treating every Flatbush project the same way.
Flatbush's Caribbean community has shaped a lot of the neighborhood's home cooking culture around bigger pots, higher-output stoves, and more counter space for prep than a standard kitchen layout assumes, which is a detail we ask about directly rather than defaulting to a generic appliance and counter plan. The neighborhood's tree-lined streets in the Victorian districts also mean more mature landscaping to protect during any exterior material staging or dumpster placement, something we plan for on every Ditmas Park and Prospect Park South project.
