365 Bond

365 Bond Street sits on the Gowanus Canal at the edge of historic Carroll Gardens and was the first major development in Gowanus, an emerging industrial neighborhood in Brooklyn. 365 Bond was the first in a pair of buildings, along with 363 Bond, constructed along First Street. Designed as a complimentary pair, each building has its own identity yet shares a commonality of form and materials. Both buildings look and act like a series working in tandem to create a well-balanced neighborhood. The buildings both front a richly landscaped public esplanade designed by Brooklyn landscape architect Lee Weintraub and are adjacent to the historic Carroll Street Bridge.

The firm accomplished that by weaving some common materials through a varied landscape of height and scale. Weathered brick, raw concrete and large expanses of mullioned glass reference the area’s industrial past. Although the building occupies an entire block, its variety of scale and height make it feel like a neighborhood rather than a building.
