RESIDENTIAL The Hendrick

BBB has designed a contemporary residential building inspired by the historic character of its surroundings in the heart of Boerum Hill, Brooklyn.

Designed with craftsmanship as the guiding principle, The Hendrik draws upon the neighborhood’s industrial past as home to the labor force that built much of New York City. To complement the predominately brick neighborhood, BBB specified Petersen Brick, a Danish handmade, coal-fired brick distinguished by its vibrant and deep tonality, unusual sizes, and textures. Each Petersen brick is unique. BBB traveled to Denmark with the client to visit the Petersen factory to finalize the color selection and understand the installation methodology first-hand.

RESIDENTIAL The Hepburn

BBB’s design for a bold, contemporary residential building adjacent to the landmark Washington Hilton near Dupont Circle takes cues from the hotel’s distinctive curvilinear geometry.

Inspired by the sculptural expression of the historic hotel building, the goal was to complement the original architect’s art form in a manner that also responds to the sensitive historic context. The sloped site’s irregular shape called for an addition that carefully harmonizes with the geometric quality of the hotel and respects its height and scale. The glass facade is an intentional contrast to the concrete grid-work of the existing structure, while its semicircular form responds to the hotel’s double arc, creating two primary open spaces: the interior hotel courtyard to the north and the residential terrace to the south. Expansive views of the city are maximized with rooftop amenities including an indoor “Great Room” and multiple outdoor terraces and pool. A series of ground floor lounges and activity rooms create communal and intimate spaces, allowing residents to socialize with neighbors or relax in privacy. Constructed in 1965, the Washington Hilton is one of DC’s most important examples of the expressionist mode of mid-century modern architecture. As part of the project, BBB successfully advocated for the hotel’s designation as a historic landmark.

RESIDENTIAL Watchcase Factory Redevelopment

BBB’s design for a vibrant new residential community at the Watchcase Factory retains the spirit of the historic building through the restoration of original materials and details.

The Bulova Watchcase Factory is a nineteenth-century industrial building located on a 2.25 acre site in the historic center of the Village of Sag Harbor, Long Island. The building stood empty for more than 25 years before BBB was engaged to serve as Design Architect to lead an extensive restoration and rehabilitation effort. The 4-story building now houses 64 condominium units, with the southern half of the site featuring newly constructed duplex townhouses and bungalow residences designed to resonate with the storied factory complex and the neighboring community. A concealed, underground parking structure with a landscaped courtyard above was also created, as well as the Watchcase Pavilion indoor swimming pool and fitness center. The complex was originally a polluted, industrial, brownfield Superfund site that underwent an extensive environmental cleanup and is now transformed into a model of sustainable design.

RESIDENTIAL Beyer Blinder Belle was founded in 1968, in the wake of the urban renewal movement in the , when the social fabric of cities, communities, and buildings was compromised by the prevailing attitudes about planning and architecture. We pioneered and defined a different approach to the design of the built environment that focused on architecture empowering people — their interaction with each other on streets and in neighborhoods, their pleasure in moving through the city, and their connections to the surrounding physical fabric.

This mission has guided us for more than four decades and has shaped a broad and award-winning practice — now 195 professionals in New York City and Washington, DC engaged in architecture, planning, and interiors. A persistent exploration of historic, cultural and civic meaning guides our work, while our design is contemporary and reflects the materials and technology of today.

Planning, restoration and the design of new buildings are the fundamental underpinnings of our practice. Many of our projects involve the stewardship of historic buildings in sensitive urban sites — the work for which we have become best recognized. Our deep sense of identity and evolving perspectives on design have guided our practice in new construction as well as master planning and urban design. With our clients and friends, we continue the dialogue.

Our areas of specialization include: Campus Planning; Design for Higher Education; Design & Planning for K-12; Government; Historic Preservation; Hospitality & Retail; Interiors; Mixed-Use; Museums & Institutions; Office; Parks, Gardens & Recreation; Performing Arts; Planning & Urban Design; Residential; Sacred; and Transportation.
