POWERHOUSE ARTS

B ROO K LYN , N E W YOR K Rising from the vestiges of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit power station, Powerhouse Arts is a new 170,000SF art fabrication facility in Gowanus providing workshops for large scale art production in 5 mediums: metal, wood ceramic, textiles and printmaking. PBDW teamed up with Herzog & deMeuron to integrate the station’s majestic but long-abandoned Turbine Hall into a larger complex to serve as a home for the dynamic new institution. The new complex echoes the original power station in its massing and site usage, maintaining a distinction between modern and historic components while combining them into a harmonious whole. The design retains vestiges of the artistic grittiness and flourish of the Turbine Hall remnant, which had become a renowned exhibition site for graffiti artists before the renovation. The new volume, reminiscent of the station’s original Boiler House, is rendered in cast red concrete that is sympathetic in color and sheen to the Turbine Hall’s brickwork, but distinctly modern in its craft. The interplay between the original, annotated industrial surfaces and the modern addition creates a refreshingly vibrant environment for creating and experiencing art.

PARK AVENUE ARMORY N EW YO R K , N E W YOR K

Built in 1880 as both a military and a social club, the Seventh Regiment Armory houses a rare collection of significant period rooms designed by the most prominent artists and designers of their time. As a design counterpoint, the soaring, industrialscaled Drill Hall celebrates the structural innovations of the era. Since 2006, PBDW has worked closely with the Park Avenue Armory Conservancy (PAA) and Herzog & de Meuron to renovate and upgrade the building for contemporary use while showcasing a well-crafted balance between the patina of time and the evolution of the building which makes its history so unique. From the outset, PBDW applied an investigative approach to develop an intimate understanding of the building’s cultural and construction history. This informs each element of the renovation, from the integration of modern infrastructure to the restoration of decorative paint schemes. We have worked collaboratively with the PAA to define and refine each new project phase to best meet their evolving programming objectives as they have grown from a small group of concerned visionaries into one of New York’s most vibrant cultural institutions. The multi-phased renovation has transformed the Armory’s historic environs into a world-class arts and performance venue.

PALACE THEATRE

N EW YO R K , N E W YOR K The Palace Theatre is a New York City Interior Landmark designed by Kirchoff & Rose and built for vaudeville mogul Martin Beck in 1913. Over its life it has functioned as a vaudeville playhouse, a movie theater and a legitimate Broadway theater. The ongoing project relocated the historic theater 30 feet vertically as part of the TSX Broadway development and restored its significant fabric while bringing the theater into the 21st century. Raising the building adds over 10,000 SF of newly accessible circulation and back-of-house space. The theater is part of the 47-story development that brings together high-end retail, entertainment, and hospitality programming. From 2013 through 2017, PBDW was the architect for the entire development, designing and obtaining all regulatory approvals and preparing construction documents up to design development phase. The new entrance to the theater is being moved to 47th Street, with a new 80-foot marquee. Patrons will ascend by escalator to a new lobby at the orchestra level and enter the auditorium through its original doors. The stage house is being rebuilt, including new gridiron, rigging, stage lifts, orchestra pit and trap room with elevators. The restoration includes the elaborate decorative plaster, new custom light fixtures, careful retrofitting of MEP and state-of-the-art theatrical equipment, and a finish scheme inspired by the theater’s early appearance. This transformation will elevate the Palace physically, functionally, and experientially, while restoring its original grandeur.

462 BROADWAY N E W YO RK , N E W YORK Erected in 1880 with frontage on Broadway, Grand, and Crosby Streets, 462 Broadway is the largest fully-clad cast iron structure within the SoHo-Cast Iron Historic District. PBDW was retained to restore the entire façade, including all 400 linear feet of ground level storefront. We replaced 11’ tall double-hung wood windows, repainted the entire six-story elevation in the original color, and restored more than 1,550 of the original 2,000 cast iron pieces that made up the 108 Corinthian capitals. All work is based on our Landmarks approved Master Plan, which allows different layouts while retaining the building’s historic character. After PBDW’s restoration, 462 Broadway has regained its original grandeur as one of the most impressive buildings in the SoHo-Cast Iron Historic District. Our restoration was recognized with a Restoration Award from the Municipal Art Society, a Stanford White Award from the Institute for Classical Architecture & Art, and a Lucy Moses Award from the New York Landmarks Conservancy.

NEW-YORK HISTORICAL SOCIETY N EW YO R K , N E W YOR K

Established in 1804, the New-York Historical Society is New York’s first museum and one of the city’s premier cultural institutions. Working with the Society since 2005, PBDW helped transform the closed-off and reserved building into one that invites the public through its architecture and programming. The initial project, following the creation of a master plan, included renovations to the Central Park West and 77th Street entrances, and redesign of the entrance gallery, auditorium and children’s gallery. In 2013, PBDW renovated the Society’s fourth floor galleries. The project included the first-of-its-kind gallery dedicated to the role of women in American history, the renovation of the Luce Center galleries, a new education technology center, a gallery lounge and a new gallery to exhibit the Society’s collection of Tiffany lamps, designed in coordination with Eva Jiřičná Architects. Completed in 2020, the Meet the Presidents Gallery includes a recreation of the White House Oval Office. PBDW researched and designed the recreation, including replica furniture, fabrics and carpet.

MOISE SAFRA CENTER N EW YO R K , N E W YOR K

The Moise Safra Center is a new institution organized around the need for a place to worship and celebrate, as well as to nurture its members. Drawing from our deep understanding of similar institutions, PBDW helped guide the Center to develop a building that would act as a second home for the Jewish community it serves, as well as unite a broad range of programming inclusive of both community center and religious functions. We were also challenged to create distinct identities for the religious and community spaces that would ensure that the building, as a whole, remained cohesive. The 65,000 SF building is packed with community and religious spaces in a vertical campus spread over 14 floors. The program includes a wellness center and pool, classrooms, and flexible spaces designed to adapt to varying program needs. Religious spaces include a double-height sanctuary space and a smaller daily sanctuary, a generous library/study, and offices for the rabbinical staff. We located banquet rooms on the building’s upper floors with an outdoor terrace. This floor’s fully retractable glass wall allows events to flow seamlessly from interior to exterior.

NEW 42 STUDIOS N E W YO RK , N E W YORK This public project was commissioned by the not-for-profit arts organization, The New 42nd Street, Inc., and is a distinctive facet of the redevelopment of New York’s Times Square. PBDW Architects designed an eleven-story building that houses spacious dance rehearsal studios, two reception halls, a black box theater, dressing rooms, and office facilities for dance and performing arts companies. In place of the conventional Times Square neon, we created a façade that is an abstract collage of color and light, which acts as signal for its use as a creative “factory” for the performing arts. Perforated metal blades and dichroic glass create pattern and color by day, while theatrical lights play over the façade in an infinitely variable sequence of colors by night. Named one of the twenty most significant buildings in the city in “Architecture in Detail: New York,” this project has received significant worldwide recognition. It has been exhibited at New York’s Urban Center as one of the city’s thirty most distinguished buildings built during the last thirty years.

14TH STREET Y

N EW YO R K , N E W YOR K The 14th Street Y is a multi-generational community center in New York City. Their vision for the new Y is to serve simultaneously as a “town square” for the East Village community as well as provide a cutting-edge cultural destination that explores four programmatic pillars – arts and culture, education, health and wellness, and civic engagement. Since 2005, PBDW has been working with the 14th Street Y to prepare their current facilities for future growth through various adaptive reuse schemes. The comprehensive space planning articulated in 2017 resulted in a design that is inspiring, welcoming, spacious, modern, sustainable, and reflective of its community. Programming includes a lobby with café, market and gathering areas, theater and arts education center, preschool and parenting center, fitness and wellness center, community event space, rooftop recreation and gathering spaces. The complex programming is organized around a 7-story atrium created in the middle of the existing building. This symbolic “town square” floods the building with natural light, activating the “heart” of the complex while providing a comfortable place for community members to gather and socialize.

GREEN-WOOD CEMETERY TRAN Q UI L I T Y G A R DE N B ROO K LYN , N E W YOR K

The design of Tranquility Garden involved a tight site, located within the constraints of an existing horse-shoe shaped configuration of burial urns. The adjacency to both the 1911 Warren & Wetmore Historic Chapel and the Modern Chapel presented formal design challenges, as did the striking landscape and greenery of the cemetery. PBDW designed a series of glass and stone enclosed pavilions in a semi-circular shape that integrates the surrounding landscape and provides an expressive identity for the new complex, while also complementing and linking each of the surrounding existing structures. Using the axis of the Modern Chapel as a defining benchmark, we worked with a Feng Shui consultant to create an inner reflecting pool and pond, connecting the sides of the pavilions with walkways through the pool and featuring a memorial obelisk in its center. The obelisk anchors the space and emulates the forms of burial sculpture found in the surrounding cemetery. The design of the columbarium allowed for the addition of more than 9,000 funerary niches.

GREEN-WOOD CEMETERY C HAPE L A D D ITION B ROO KLY N, N E W YORK Founded in 1838 and a National Historic Landmark, Green-Wood was one of the first rural cemeteries in America and continues as a working cemetery to this day. PBDW has worked with Green-Wood since 1995 and was hired in 2012 to design an addition to the 1954 Modern Chapel. The goals were to provide an expansion of the columbarium and mausoleum spaces and to harmonize the modern chapel with its nearby historic counterparts. PBDW provided a harmonious design for the addition, unifying this added square footage behind a new façade that spans both the existing and new spaces. We updated all finishes of the existing building to complement the new addition. The new chapel doubled the allowable space for family visitations and services and features its own entryway to accommodate multiple events within the building at one time. The new chapel’s design makes its front wall a focal point, featuring a colorful wall of leaves pressed into glass and naturalistic themes throughout its design. The larger floorplan accommodates an enlarged family room with a solarium, a 1,200-niche Columbarium and 200 additional crypt spaces.

GREEN-WOOD CEMETERY HILL S I DE MAU SOL E U M B ROO KLY N, N E W YORK Green-Wood is not only a National Historic Landmark but also a functioning cemetery. Our building completes a row of mausoleums on a steep slope, requiring the design to accommodate a large change in grade. Our design sought to create a natural pathway through the building and up the side of the hill in order to allow visitors to feel immersed in nature, creating an uplifting visual quality to the space. This ‘path’ design expression took the form of two symmetrical, shingled glass curtain walls and coordinating sawtooth skylights on the roof. These glass apertures nestle between grey granite-clad monoliths that contain the crypts and niches. At the top of the building sit two pyramidal glass skylights that mimic the form of the surrounding memorial sculptures. The interior features two symmetrical stairs which align with each of the building’s glass curtain walls. Upon entering at ground level, visitors are met by an interior reflecting pool below the stair, while the focal point is a four-story water wall that pierces through each of the building’s floors and is lit by the pyramid-shaped skylights above.

COOKE SCHOOL & INSTITUTE N E W YO RK , N E W YORK Cooke School & Institute is an organization committed to providing academic programs, therapy, support, and life skills services to students with special needs in grades K-12, as well as young adults ages 18-21. In combining the grammar and high schools, PBDW was faced with the challenge of creating a design that would serve a diverse age range within a single facility. Additionally, a deed restriction limiting the building height, plus a tight budget, led PBDW to look at both space and cost-efficient design solutions to address the client’s complex program requirements. Larger shared spaces, along with administrative areas, are located on the lower floors of the building. The upper three floors are divided in half, creating separate vertical campuses for both the grammar and high schools. Separate academic and specialty classrooms, therapy and counseling spaces, and stair towers for each school allow for the controlled separation of the youngest and oldest students. Classrooms are positioned to take advantage of daylight, and each has its own break-out room within the space where therapists or teachers can work with individuals or small groups as needed throughout the day.

The school wanted to provide a dignified place of learning that is sensitive to the special needs of their unique student population. This required a design that provided a variety of environments to accommodate varied teaching and learning methodologies. To do this, PBDW needed to intimately understand the sensory and spatial needs of the students and gain a full understanding of the highly specialized program elements to create the most suitable spaces for the students.

Riverdale Country School is a pre-K through 12th grade independent school sitting upon 19.5 hilly acres and serving 1,170 students. PBDW was commissioned to re-organize the Hill Campus’s existing Marc A. Zambetti Athletic Center, design a new Aquatic Center, and maximize the functionality of the school’s existing Student Center. We initially explored the possibilities of these and other design improvements through a master planning exercise. These explorations expanded the program to include a new elevator, internal stair connections, and reconfigured lobbies for both the Student Center and the Varsity Gym. Our design for the new façade of the Zambetti building introduced formal and material enhancements which informed our treatment and design of the new Aquatic Center. We carefully considered the relationship of the existing Zambetti building to the intended site of the PBDW-designed Aquatic Center and chose to unify these expressions, strengthening their architectural dialogue and solidifying their presence on the hillside overlooking the Frank J.

PBDW was hired as the architect for the complete interior renovation of the existing 630 guestrooms along with all the public amenity spaces. The existing concessions at the ground floor lobby were transformed into a breakfast bar and evening cocktail area. The original reception area with offices was completely opened to make room for a concierge desk and a more welcoming front desk experience. The second-floor amenity offerings and event spaces were re-designed and a generous access to a previously unused roof terrace from the main ballroom was created for more public outdoor space. A rooftop pool room, previously connected to the private Helmsley penthouse apartment, was transformed into a public bar/lounge with an outdoor terrace overlooking Central Park. An ADA-compliant elevator and new egress stair created the possibility for these spaces to be publicly accessible.

BROADWAY + 110

N EW YO R K , N E W YOR K PBDW was given the opportunity to design a high-end residential condominium building in Morningside Heights on the corner of Broadway and 110th Street. The client sought a compelling façade design within the constraints of an as-of-right zoning envelope that would accommodate residential, retail, and parking garage functions at ground level. One of the key challenges was the shallow and substandard lot depth. The project also posed geotechnical challenges, requiring deep rock excavation for the parking garage immediately adjacent to the Broadway subway station and tunnel. What emerged from these constraints was a condominium complex that introduced 98 new dwelling units into a sunny corner with views of Riverside Park and the Hudson River. Our design embraced the as-of-right zoning form using a precast concrete expression on the lower levels and curtainwall expression on the set back upper levels. The design is knitted together using concrete balconies on the curtainwall areas and window-wall and other metal details in the precast concrete areas.
