Building of the Day: 123 Melrose

Situated on the former site of Brooklyn’s Rheingold Brewery, the project will generate 1,000,000 square feet of apartment units in Bushwick, 20% of which will be affordable. The project will host a multitude of communal spaces open to the neighborhood, while a 17,850-square-foot public park will bisect the development, creating a green promenade and two 400-by-200-foot blocks. These masses are further perforated by a sequence of meandering, interconnected courtyards that ultimately lead to the promenade. Over the pair of these New York City blocks, ODA superimposed the layout of woven streets in a typical old town core.
