St. Ann’s Warehouse

St. Ann’s Warehouse has a new home in DUMBO, the neighborhood it has helped revitalize since 2000. The theater brings public/private amenity to the evolving neighborhood and waterfront. St. Ann’s Warehouse

A triangular shaped park provides a public year-round, open-air park with seating and views of the river and the Brooklyn Bridge. St. Ann’s Warehouse

Though the open garden, visitors enter the formal arched doorway into a vestibule and through to the theater’s main artery, a programmable hallway, and onto the 700-seat theater. St. Ann’s Warehouse

The original warehouse shell was kept intact, restored and preserved. A freestanding steel volume is inserted on three sides providing generous space in addition to the main theater. St. Ann’s Warehouse

Glass brick clerestory was added to the volume to recall the height of a former building on the site and to bring in natural light throughout the volume. It is a complement to the existing brick façade and recognizable as a discrete addition. St. Ann’s Warehouse St. Ann’s Warehouse

Steel and plywood are used throughout the interiors, their raw and natural finishes complementing the exposed remaining beams and original brick.
