Brooklyn Mixed-use

In an established neighborhood experiencing revitalization near the Brooklyn Museum, two lots in Brooklyn were combined to form one L shaped lot. The interior lot had a one-story structure, which was removed, and the corner lot had a three-story brick building, which remained and was incorporated into the new building. The new building houses 13 apartments, a store and a community facility. The slot of space between the empty lot and the existing brick building contains the elevator and stairs for the apartments on the 2nd to 6th floors. The upper floors are duplex and triplex apartments with high spaces and outdoor terraces.

The building was designed to appeal to young buyers with modern interiors incorporating industrial metal stairs, window systems and metal detailing at the kitchens and baths. An aluminum and glass storefront system captures the views of Manhattan from most of the apartments. A corrugated aluminum panel system enlivens the facade and is repeated in metal awnings at the first floor.
