No contest, much better than the Gehry, also much better than Gang’s other Gehryesque building, 100 Folsom in SF.
Very cool facade. Downtown Brooklyn is going to look very different in a couple years
This facade (curtain wall) is exceptional: in both architectural design, and the quality of materials for the window/wall panels. The building overall looks very attractive, and the light color of the stone is a major factor in achieving that fine aesthetic result. High design, with minimal effort in terms of construction complexity; good design work on every level of form and function.
Nice building but site is a waste imho.
that’s stone and not concrete??
can you imagine the additional cost to carve out that swooping effect?
It has topped out
Looks like molded stone composite to me -

This is probably downtown Brooklyn’s best big new building.
Best of Brooklyn: for architectural design. This looks great.
So much crap going up in BK -
