The site of the westernmost shore of the Red Hook neighborhood in Brooklyn consist of two existing warehouses, on of them dates back to 1880's. The buildings were used as a factory for Lidgerwood Manufacturing CO. Buildings are constructed of masonry and are of American Round Arch Style, also known as Rundbogenstil. Using adaptive reuse strategies the warehouse complex will serve as the aquatic center (as a requirement per program). Aquatic center features indoor, outdoor pools as well as hydrotherapy facilities. Additionally the program required 150,000 sq. ft. of residential stock. To integrate the inevitably different residential buildings, the base is set to continue the language of the existing warehouse complex by combination of similar materials and design language. The apartment buildings themselves are a nod to the industrial past of the Redhook, they tilt like the freight cranes that populated this once busy port. Only today the tilts are used to maximize the views of the Downtown Manhattan, Upper Bay and Statue of Liberty.
