1 Park Point

A new community hub at Prospect Park maximizes an unusually shaped site to bring vitality through a mix of uses, with affordable housing integrated throughout.In the Windsor Terrace neighborhood of Brooklyn, 1 Park Point fosters a sense of community with a new hybrid building that brings together a mix of ground floor uses and residential units. The building relates to its large, irregularly shaped site, framing the curve of Machate Circle, and facing a grand entrance of Prospect Park. Across the building’s expansive façade, a vertical expression of masonry piers and horizontal masonry spandrels breaks the rigidity of a typical grid, while notches and open corners highlight the location of entrances on the building’s façade. The building’s nearly 400,000 square feet includes a mix of uses, each with entrances on different street frontages.
