Gowanus 175 Third Street

“When the building went into contract, we put out an RFP with five different architects, and the designs BIG came back with just knocked us out. They understood the location, the surroundings, and the history of Gowanus, which we appreciated.”

"Our design for 175 Third Street in Gowanus is conceived as a three-dimensional neighborhood of building blocks stacked to frame a central park cascading down towards the canal waterfront. The rational volumes are chiseled and chamfered, opening up the corners to create terraces, entrances, and outdoor spaces. The resultant architecture provides a plethora of niches for all forms of life - urban and intimate, public and private - within and around."
