The building and courtyard replace a marble shop behind a residence in an industrial zone of Brooklyn. We removed the former dilapidated shop and courtyard, leaving only the existing bearing walls- and their accumulated years of marble dust, graffiti, and stains from exposure to the elements. The roof is engineered to support deep soil, allowing for a fully planted garden. The design of the courtyard and entry space explores cedar as a refined material, custom-milled, sealed and integrated with a new steel frame and hardware. A series of large sliding planes form a flexible indoor/outdoor space for working on bikes and hosting parties.
