Boerum Hill’s 420 State Street, which was a vacant lot as of last March, has arrived. (Not without its share of problems, though.) There was concern the new home, which is sporting quite the modern design, was exceeding its footprint. Despite a few SWOs, it looks pretty close to complete. What do you make of the final outcome?

  1. i’m late to the party on this one, but really, you guys like this? maybe i should go look at it in person, but from the photo, i just don’t get it.

    the building doesn’t even match itself. white tiles on one side, reminiscent of a hospital… two different shades and textures of gray on the other side. why do this?? it rapes my eyes. at least the one to its right (although obviously new-looking in a not-gorgeous way) tries to match the block somewhat.

  2. I would like to know how one can ‘overbuild’ with all the rules governing new buildings. Maybe Trump can get exemptions, but the rest of us have to abide by the rules and you can only build as many square feet as zoning dictates. the owners put in a rear yard extension, which is what neighbors are complaining about. The parlor level extends 7′ past the adjacent townhouse and into the backyard, while still maintaining the 30′ setback that code requires.
