The project
consists of 7 apartments in a new five-story building located in the Williamsburg
area of Brooklyn. The modern facade utilizes an asymmetrical pattern of stucco,
a projecting cypress- covered wood bay, horizontal windows and steel framed
balcony to contrast with the symmetrical, multi-textured facades of the
neighborhood. The front facade is designed so the stucco plane aligns with the
setback plan of the neighboring building at 133 while the wood bay projects out
to align with the adjacent building at 137 Conselyea Street.
Duplex
apartments are the more typical format with the kitchen/living room and one
bedroom on the entry level and an additional bedroom located either above or
below. In between are one bedroom units
on one level. Each ground level
apartment is connected to additional living space in the cellar. The plans provide light-filled spaces that
take advantage of the maximum available square footage for residential use.
