The Stacks at Degraw

Set in Brooklyn’s Gowanus neighborhood, this residential development reimagines urban living through stacked massing, curved forms, and integrated green terraces. The project bridges the site’s industrial past with a future-forward approach, offering a model for zoning-compliant multifamily housing that prioritizes community and sustainability.

Terraced greenery fosters biophilic connections, while the top-level common area encourages social interaction among residents. The design responds to NYC’s zoning constraints with bold experimentation, merging adaptive reuse strategies and new typologies to revitalize post-industrial contexts.
