1000 Dean Street - Brooklyn - Exterior New Building - Selldorf Architects

This historic Studebaker service station is repurposed as office and studio space for Brooklyn’s creative community. Originally built in the 1920s, the 155,000 square foot structure the project completely renovates exterior and interior. The transformation of the four-story building is complemented by the introduction of two 8’ x 92’ skylights to bring daylight into the lower floor plates. The building’s raw industrial spirit is preserved and updated with modern mechanical systems, IT infrastructure, a central circulation core including elevator and connecting stair, and roof-top photovoltaic panels.
