Pierhouse & 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge: A Beautiful Marriage of Nature and Design
The Pierhouse & 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge by Marvel Architects is a dynamic development that combines the best of all worlds - luxury condos, a stylish hotel, event spaces, and even a parking garage. The three residential buildings are connected by a seamless 110,000 sq ft foundation and share essential mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection systems, resulting in increased energy efficiency.
The project boasts a LEED Silver certification and is designed with energy efficiency and sustainability in mind. From the solar shading and light controls, to the motion sensors and LED fixtures, this development is ahead of the curve in eco-friendly design. The high-performance glazing offers not only exceptional sound isolation but also energy savings.
In response to Hurricane Sandy, the design team elevated the building's entry by four feet, while still maintaining its connection to the park and street. The lobby is a true work of art, featuring granite desk sculptures from the same quarry used to build the iconic Brooklyn Bridge. And, speaking of the park, the landscaping at Pierhouse is a true oasis - with native plantings, mature trees, and blocks of granite providing shade and extending the park experience right into the hotel. The landscaping is not only a treat for residents and guests, but also helps reduce the heat island effect. Water-saving measures and the use of regional materials were also incorporated to minimize the development's environmental impact.
Plus, each condo unit is equipped with a kitchen composter and the hotel offers electric vehicle charging stations. With all these environmentally-friendly features, Pierhouse & 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge is not just a development - it's a statement about the future of sustainable living.
