it’s good because it’s plain. developers often try way too hard to be different, regardless of the talent of their team. This is all anyone should try to do in Brooklyn, unless they are working with a highly qualified architect who knows how to deviate from a great townhouse context without getting ugly. Developers pay attention! Do this more and you will sell!
i’m with meh too. if i loved the inside, i, of course, wouldn’t care, but compared to many other new developments, this is pretty plain.
I’m with boerumresident on this one. I like a lot of modern buildings, but this one is meh.
What’s attractive about the facade? Seriously, I don’t get it. I like modernist elements — some of my favorite houses in the neighborhood are non-traditional (like the house just down the block on Wyckoff from the Ponce de Leon bank), but this is just plain. Not offensive, mind you, just plain.
Now here’s a good example of an attractive modern-style building in Brooklyn — for all those doubters who say Brownstoner doesn’t like modern.
“I for one can appreciate how fireproof construction with an elevator and modern mechanicals can compete very favorably with subdivided nineteenth century townhouses.”
Minard;
I commend you for this statement! Refreshing attitude for this site.
Actually, these look nicer in photos on the inside. What it really shows is the demand for 3 BR’s in this neighborhood.

Yeah – how is this any sort of interpretation of the townhouse form?
Nice looking building, and certainly clean and modern, but the only form it is interpreting is the small apartment house!
