ODA has revealed plans for a new residential project under construction in Brooklyn that will deliver 336 units of studio, one-, and two-bedroom apartments. Their design for the Lorimer House and Copper Lofts in East Williamsburg calls for a triangular block-scale development connected by a bridge, surrounding three small interior courtyards and defined by curved corners that soften its form in response to the site's unique dimensions.

Other aspects of the project include a third-floor pocket park space that combines with an upper-level amenity lounge and a circular roof deck with landscaping to give residents a total of 26,000 square feet of outdoor areas. The building's facade is composed of brick with horizontal metal panels, vertical metallic piers, and a slab edge to create an appealing visual character completed by integrated planters, balconies, and recessed terraces. 

Durukan Design has been tasked with completing the interior design for the units, which offer floor-to-ceiling windows made using a specialty glass that cuts the amount of noise pollution from the street below. The total square footage for the design is 318,400. 

Also in the borough, Frida Escobedo has debuted her first American residential project, another block-length development in Boerum Hill that's similar in concept, worth a total of 209,000 square feet, and set to be completed in 2025.
