Transforming 75 Henry Street: A Remarkable Co-op Renovation in Brooklyn Heights

Brooklyn, NY, USA

Project's Summary

75 Henry Street, located in the beautiful neighborhood of Brooklyn Heights, is a remarkable co-op building comprising 370 units. Managed by Gumley Haft, this iconic structure underwent a transformative redesign and renovation led by the talented team at ALine Studio in 2013. The project involved revamping not only the building's two lobbies but also its community room, management offices, mailroom, and storefront. With a focus on modernization and functionality, ALine Studio successfully reconfigured several spaces to implement the new design, breathing new life into this historic building.

One of the standout features of this renovation is the addition of a state-of-the-art fitness center. ALine Studio ingeniously utilized and combined the previously unused space of an old office and closet to create this exceptional amenity. By incorporating the fitness center, the standard of living for residents was greatly improved. Furthermore, the building now generates an additional stream of revenue by charging a small membership fee for gym access, demonstrating the project's ingenious blend of functionality and financial sustainability.

In addition to the fitness center, ALine Studio undertook a comprehensive overhaul of the building's HVAC system. This upgrade ensures optimal temperature control and ventilation throughout the entire structure, enhancing the comfort and well-being of its inhabitants. Furthermore, a security/intercom system was implemented, enhancing the overall safety and security of the building.

ALine Studio also focused on enhancing the aesthetics and ambience of the building. The lighting was revamped, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for residents and visitors alike. Additionally, recognizing the growing storage needs of the residents, ALine Studio created a spacious 15-foot package closet. This innovative addition provides a practical solution for residents to securely store their belongings, while also contributing to the overall organization and efficiency of the building.

With its meticulous attention to detail and commitment to functionality, ALine Studio's redesign and renovation of 75 Henry Street stands as a testament to their architectural prowess. This project not only breathes new life into the building but also elevates the living experience for its residents. By combining modern design elements with innovative solutions, ALine Studio has successfully transformed 75 Henry Street into a truly exceptional co-op building in the heart of Brooklyn Heights.
