A modern, cutting-edge development at a prominent intersection in Brooklyn provides a comprehensive care experience for the community. With major highway access, subway stations and high-traffic bus routes, the building truly serves to expand this System’s services to a large population. The neighborhood care center occupies a portion of the first floor with its own entrance while connecting internally to specialty services.
The folded articulation of the glass in the upper stories respond to solar heat gain by self-shading with tinted reflective glass sloping upward and clearer glass below allowing sweeping views of the skyline. The rippling effect transfers below to a perforated metal cloud shrouding the parking deck while allowing light and air to flow through. At night, the whole building-the tallest in the area-glows as a beacon. Parking and patient drop-off are raised to the second floor, allowing the sloped canopy to pull pedestrians in at the first floor level. Vehicular traffic can flow through the building, dropping passengers off at the 2nd floor Lobby and continuing out to street level. The facade was fabricated as a modular system allowing for a simplified install from the interior of the building, reducing street closure logistics.
The ground floor holds specialty services including urgent care, imaging, phlebotomy and a non-compounding pharmacy. Elevators pass through the parking levels to the sleek and modern patient waiting area located along the angled glass facade. Offices are located off of the main concourse arranged in a simple manner to allow for the greatest flexibility in the ever-changing clinical specialties.
