Gowanus "Jewel"
Located in the manufacturing district of Brooklyn, Gowanus, Brooklyn Tower I is a new 7-story mixed-use development project. Conceived as two separate volumes, a four-story base and three-story crown, the building is designed to sit within and atop the typical brownstone typology. Sitting atop the heavier bottom volume is a lighter, airier, open structure with warm wood sun shading and floor to ceiling glass openings to provide sweeping views of Brooklyn and the Gowanus Canal.
