New Life

Sunset Park has a beautiful history that reflects the rich cultural tapestry of New York City. Presently settled by Chinese and Mexican communities, it has unfortunately been overshadowed by the construction of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (BQE), dividing its urban fabric. Furthermore, high pollution has proven troubling for the health of the neighborhood.Situated at the junction of the BQE and 31st street, the project revitalizes an old factory building and acts as a buffer between the neighborhood and the Expressway. Nodding to the vibrant food truck culture, the site of New Life hopes to redefine and reconnect the urban spaces of Sunset Park to create a cohesive place through food and accessible, anonymous healthcare.
