Bronx, NY
This 100,000 square-foot HPD project combines two new buildings with shared parking and a landscaped open space into one complex containing 106 units. In a neighborhood context of largely anonymous buildings RKTB created a design statement that was distinctive, accomplished through patterns of multicolored brick. Unusual for affordable housing, the building design incorporates large windows to improve the quality of the interior spaces. It also monitors energy consumption in compliance with the requirements of the “Green Communities Criteria.” (photographs © Albert Vecerka/Esto)
