The NYC Parks Beach Restoration Modules by Garrison Architects were developed in response to the devastation caused by Hurricane Sandy, which destroyed numerous lifeguard and comfort stations along New York City’s coastline. The project consists of 37 flood-resistant, modular structures deployed across multiple beach sites, including Rockaway, Coney Island, and Staten Island. Elevated above flood levels on concrete supports, the buildings are designed to withstand extreme weather while minimizing environmental impact. Factory-built for rapid installation, the modules incorporate sustainable features such as solar energy systems, natural ventilation, and daylighting, creating resilient, efficient, and adaptable public facilities.
