The new complex with a total area of more than 111 thousand m2 occupies an area of two blocks and a passage between them, which has now become a park. The site is a former site of the Rheingold Brewery in Brooklyn. We are talking about 900 (or even slightly more) rental apartments ranging from studio to three-bedroom dwellings. A fifth of them belong to the category of affordable housing.

It is ODA's largest project and one of the largest residential developments in New York City. The bureau was fully engaged in the project: architecture, interior design and landscape design. The architects abandoned the high-rise option, choosing a more complex, but friendly to the inhabitants. Eight-storey buildings form a complex system of courtyards, reminiscent of a spontaneously formed layout. More eventful than usual in the case of new buildings, the environment also includes 15 huge murals that adorn the courtyard facades with gallery corridors. Gardening plays an important role. These measures have been taken to mitigate the increasing building density.

The external pinkish-brown facades lined with diagonals are reminiscent of the brick and metal of the surrounding buildings and the disappeared industrial buildings. Between two blocks-quarters measuring 121 x 31 m each, there is a park-promenade with an area of 1660 m2. It is available to all citizens, as well as part of the courtyards. Both blocks have rooftop gardens with a total area of 6,500 m2, offering panoramic views of Brooklyn and Manhattan. More than 250 native tree species and over 1200 shrubs and perennials have been planted there. They also set up four kitchen areas with a barbecue, a mini golf course, a meadow with hammocks, and a dog playground. There is also a vegetable garden with a hydroponic farm, where residents can plant vegetables and herbs, choosing from over a hundred different seeds.

In addition to the thoughtful and varied interiors of public areas, where murals and other types of monumental art were also widely used, their functions play an important role. In addition to the lounges and children's rooms usual for any houses of this type, here you can find gyms for exercise bikes, for boxing and yoga classes, a pool with a high vaulted ceiling, a bowling alley, a games room, a climbing wall, where routes change every three months, a coffee shop, four -Cook”, cinema. All of these spaces can be booked, but they also have a program of activities such as cooking classes and poker nights. The target audience of the complex is young family and single people.
