Pierhouse, located in the heart of Brooklyn Bridge Park between Furman Street and the East River, comprises a 106-unit condominium, 300-car below-grade parking garage, 17,000 SF event space, and 195-key hotel within a 620,000 SF complex of connected buildings ranging from four to ten stories.

The 962-foot length of the site creates the primary design challenge of Pierhouse and 1 Hotel - to create a private development which connects the city and waterfront park. To achieve this, Marvel Architects designed Pierhouse to perform as an extension of Brooklyn Bridge Park - a verdant backdrop recalling the high, sandy bank of pre-colonial Brooklyn Heights.

The complex features green roofs and a variety of pathways to access the park. The limestone west elevation cascades towards it, while the metal paneled east elevation rises steeply from Furman Street, responding to the urban fabric of narrow streets and the nearby expressway.
