Likewise, the materiality and window patterning of the complex has been broken up across the massing, with vertically striated concrete, various brick configurations, and floor-to-ceiling windows in some sections helping to create the illusion of multiple buildings rather than an aggregate.<\/p>\n<p>A total of 160,000 square feet has been blocked off for the taller residential portion, while retail, restaurants, and offices will occupy 74,325 square feet, and another 65,675 square feet has been set aside for manufacturing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a site my neighbors and others from across Red Hook have discussed for years \u2014 often at community planning sessions on the ground floor of my house on Van Brunt Street. The Model Block is the direct result of those conversations,\u201d said Alexandros Washburn, the founder of DRAW Brooklyn, former Chief Urban Designer of New York City Department of City Planning, and project team leader, in a press release.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe asked our neighbors: what do we need in Red Hook?\u201d added Washburn. \u201cWhat do we love about Red Hook? And how can we get it all in a model block? The top priorities that emerged were clear: housing, jobs, resilience and the environment. And the process was clear: doing it in a way that was shaped and led by the community. We are thrilled to unveil this proposal, and we\u2019re looking forward to continuing those conversations with our friends and neighbors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Washburn was joined by a bevy of architecture studios in both the community outreach and design process for Model Block, including Arquitectonica, Brooklyn\u2019s cross-disciplinary AE Superlab, and Manhattan\u2019s Marpillero Pollak Architects.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, due to the site\u2019s industrial heritage, the development team will first need to remediate the parcel Model Block is planned for through New York State\u2019s Brownfields Cleanup Program.<\/p>\n<p>While no cost has been made public yet, Model Block has already entered review through the New York Board of Standards and Appeals (BSA) process, including public feedback. The BSA review, including a relevant Community Board 6 meeting, is expected to wrap up this year, with Model Block scheduled to break ground in 2022 and open in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Article originally appeared in <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.archpaper.com\/2021\/01\/draw-brooklyn-reveals-mixed-use-model-block-for-red-hook\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Architects Newspaper<\/a><\/em>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;]<div class=\"single-image-element\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.arq.global\/architecture\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/01\/Red-Hook-Brooklyn.jpg\" data-original=\"https:\/\/staging.arq.global\/architecture\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/01\/Red-Hook-Brooklyn.jpg\" alt=\"single image\" \/><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]Red Hook\u2019s replacement of shuttered industrial buildings continues apace as today DRAW Brooklyn unveiled Model Block, a mixed-use complex that will take over for a vacant warehouse at 145 Wolcott Street in Red Hook, Brooklyn.
