The interconnected towers of One South First and Ten Grand are located at the northern end of the five-building Domino Sugar development, which includes the adaptive reuse of the landmarked sugar refinery and four new buildings on the Williamsburg waterfront, each designed by a different architect under a 2013 master plan created by SHoP Architects.
The interlocking workplace and residential towers are raised at the base by a three-story podium that holds the street walls of the block and will be topped with a roof garden and outdoor recreation space for residential and workplace tenants. The communal green space will serve to connect residents and workers and offer a view over a new waterfront park below.
Located within the footprint of the former sugar manufacturing facility, the contemporary façade design is inspired by sugar’s crystalline structure, connecting the new building with the industrial history of the site. With crisp modernist repetition, angled white precast concrete creates a deep, faceted façade, generating a play of light and shadow. Designed to self-shade, each elevation is formed to respond to its specific solar orientation and optimized to reduce energy use for cooling.
The program and form of the tower offers a unique opportunity to prioritize energy efficiency through the complementary energy profiles of different uses. Excess heat produced from the workspaces that is traditionally rejected from the top of the building, will be captured and reused for the residential component, significantly reducing energy use.
At street level, One South First and Ten Grand are designed to foster connection and integration with the wider Williamsburg community. The storefronts are designed to allow for variation and unique identities to promote visual evolution and adaptation over time.
