Pierhouse and 1 Hotel are located beside Brooklyn Bridge Park, overlooking the East River. This 621,000 square foot complex of connected buildings ranges from four to ten stories and hosts 106 residential units, a 195-key luxury hotel, a 300-car below-grade parking garage, and a 17,000 square-foot event space.

All residential units are floor-through with east and west exposures, providing natural ventilation that filters harbor breezes through the building from park to street. This porosity continues at grade, where public walkways through the building connect Furman Street with Brooklyn Bridge Park. In addition, residential terraces utilize the same planting palette as the park below, extending the landscape into and up the building, repeating the park topography at above-grade levels and providing further connection with the natural environment.

At the hotel, reclaimed granite blocks at grade provide seating beneath large-caliper shade trees and extend the park experience up to and into the building, while the materiality of the Brooklyn Bridge is picked up in the cleft granite facing of the building base. Inside, granite desks at the lobby are sculpted from the same quarry in Halloran, Maine that was used to build The Brooklyn Bridge. Above, sheer glass window walls reflect and meld sky, park, river, bridge, and bustling Brooklyn neighborhood. Extending the park into the hotel takes the hotel experience out to the park and beyond, resulting in an altogether symbiotic relationship.
