Brooklyn

A six-story glass, metal and stone residential building is in the early stages of construction on the three-lot property at 118-122 Vanderbilt Avenue in Fort Greene. The architect? Bricolage Designs. This rendering doesn’t look so bad (a little out of place, but could be worse) but we’re more worried about how it’ll look with all the real-life materials.This isn’t Bricolage’s first new design on Vanderbilt, by the way. If you’ve been paying attention, you’ll recall this building going up on Gates and Vanderbilt. On a related note, do you know what the name Bricolage comes from? Turns out that a bricoleur is a person who creates things from existing materials, is creative and resourceful. Wikipedia says that bricolage is the French-language equivalent of “Do It Yourself.” GMAP P*Shark DOB
