Pierhouse and 1 Hotel
A gateway to Brooklyn Bridge Park that merges landscape and development.
The Pierhouse development, a collaboration between Marvel, Toll Brothers, and Starwood Capital, encompasses 106 condominiums, a 195-key hotel, and additional retail spaces on the Brooklyn waterfront. It cleverly integrates public and private spaces, ensuring visibility and access to its extensive landscaping. With sustainability in focus, the development achieved LEED Gold 2009 New Construction status. Despite facing challenges, such as accommodating subway lines and adapting to post-Hurricane Sandy flood maps, Pierhouse successfully transformed a previously inaccessible warehouse site.
Landscape extends into and up the building allowing a connection with the natural environment.
This porosity continues at grade, where public walkways through the building connect Furman Street and the park.
Marvel 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 building opens up and provides direct connection between Furman Street and Brooklyn Bridge Park.

A neighborhood living room designed as part of the 1 Hotel lobby creates a comfortable place to stop with friends or on your own and affords different levels of interaction with the other guests.

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 and the park.

Pierhouse integrates the built and natural environment to address the need for increased resiliency. In response to Superstorm Sandy, the design team amplified topography and landscape features to raise the building’s entry elevation by four feet while maintaining a vital connection to the park and street.
"There's a real connection to the landscape and public space [at Pierhouse and 1 Hotel], and that's become so much of what we are."
