Angles, Setbacks and Windows on Adelphi Street
There’s a new 5-story building going up at 184 Adelphi Street between Willougby and Myrtle. It’s too early too tell whether its angular modernism will be successful or not but we’re curious to know how residents are feeling about it. We’re just happy to see some decent-sized windows for a change! The building was designed…
There’s a new 5-story building going up at 184 Adelphi Street between Willougby and Myrtle. It’s too early too tell whether its angular modernism will be successful or not but we’re curious to know how residents are feeling about it. We’re just happy to see some decent-sized windows for a change! The building was designed by Michael Marshall Architecture. Ever heard of ’em? Just for kicks, we include a photo of a beautiful woodframe house–of mid-19th century origin, we assume–across the street at Number 183.
can anyone say non-complying streetwall three times fast?
that’s the house being built by neighborhood character Russell. It was formerly a one story garage that he rented for about twenty years before buying about three years ago. He started building about two years ago, ran out of money, left it for about a year, and restarted about five months ago. I don’t remember what the facing is going to look like, but it’ll be notable–that I can guarantee.
I THINK it’s going to have a very modern feel to it. if you check out mark wisotsky on corcoran’s website he has something on hisw site that looks like the finished product of this.
there are also 3 more building being built on Adelphi a block down, between Myrtle and Park. Anyone know what’s going up there?
Nothing wrong at all with the massing and fenestration of this new infill — I like it. But the devil is in the details — everything will depend on how the cladding is handled, especially at the windows.
