Beard street residence
Brooklyn, ny
2016 - 2019
Located in Brooklyn, NY, this 3,250 sq. ft residence is designed as a single-family, flood-resistant home. Situated in the Red Hook neighborhood, the dwelling is positioned near the Red Hook Channel and consequently, in a Flood Zone. Creating an entirely resilient structure, the residence is designed to have water pass through the ground floor using flood vents and external Mahogany vertical slats which both act to screen the ground floor garage and storage areas and allow flood water to pass through without damage to the structure. Respecting the Design Flood Elevation, all living spaces and mechanical components are located above the ground floor.
