Brooklyn, New York – 2009

LOCATED IN THE EDGE OF THE UP-COMING “DUMBO” NIEGHBORHOOD, BROOKLYN, THIS 33 APARTMENTS BUILDING IS MEDIUM-END RESIDENTIAL IN AN AREA THAT IS EMERGING OUT OF A HIGH RATE CRIME ERA. INTEGRATION INTO THE EVOLVING NIEGHBORHOOD IS THEREFORE DONE IN A DIFFERENT MANNER: THE MAIN FAÇADE OF THE BUILDING OPENS ITSELF TO THE RENEWING NIEGHBORHOOD, WHILE THE ENTRY IS PROTECTED.

THE “FACE” OF THE OF THE, 7 STORIES BUILDING IS OPEN, USING LARGE GLASS SURFACES WINDOW WALL AND CLADDED WITH HIGH TECH RESIN PANELS, BRINGING CONTEMPORARY LOOK TO INTEGRATE WITH THE RENEWING BUILDINGS AND CHANGING DEMOGRAPHY.

THE ENTRY IS HIDDEN AT THE BACK, WITH A GARDEN SETTING IT FURTHER AWAY FROM THE SIDEWALK.
