'Kodachrome' Building Underpromises, Overdelivers
It’s such a rare occasion for us to be positively surprised by a new development in this part of town that we just had to regurgitate this post that appeared on Bed Stuy Blog yesterday.

It’s such a rare occasion for us to be positively surprised by a new development in this part of town that we just had to regurgitate this post that appeared on Bed Stuy Blog yesterday. This 47,000-square-foot project at 192 Spencer in the western part of Bed Stuy gave us no particular reason to expect anything but a Fedders outcome when we stopped by in February (bottom photo). But the new exterior (top photo), which earned it the moniker of Kodachrome building on BSB, is great, we think: At once playful and clean with big windows and appropriate massing given the number of old four-, five- and six-story factory buildings in the immediate vicinity. Assuming that this will be a condo (which may not be correct), does anyone know when these will start getting marketed or who is handling it? What do you think the price per square foot will be?

Are you kidding, 12:40? Nobody could prefer a Fedders building over any other kind of building. No matter what their tastes. Unless seriously aesthetically challenged.
You should know this kind of Mondrian-esque facade actually dates back several decades. Since you prefer old over new.
CHEESE
This “thing” is grotesque. By comparison, Fedders never looked so good!
agreed, bob.
can’t get enough almodovar myself.
a cute belgian bureacrat doesn’t sound half bad either…
I love it. I also like Belgians, and how much Almodovar is too much Almodovar?
LOVE IT! further evidence that this part of bed stuy/clinton hill is HOT, HOT, HOT. i agree with 11:22-good design makes all the difference. this makes me happy.
BLING!
i have a 3 fam on this block what price do u think i can ask for it?
Nice. It has mid century modern feeling. Very Eames, very Mondrian. I saw same kind of concept in the public housing in Europe. I don’t remember exactly where…
