Brooklyn, NY
RKTB, in collaboration with MAP, participated in a design competition for Phase I of HPD’s Livonia Avenue Housing Initiative. The concept included affordable housing, retail/commercial and community facility space, parking, and accessory open space along the elevated tracks of the IRT #3 train. Responding to the challenges inherent to the site, the buildings were oriented and shaped to mitigate the effects of the adjacent sound-generating elements.
