Sponsored by AIA NY Emerging Architects and selected for publication and exhibition-Groen Hook Boathouse is a competition entered along with Christina Hansen + Jake La Chapelle- for the adaptive reuse of an industrial site along Greenpoint Brooklyn's water edge.

The program called for a boathouse with storage + learning facilities, a community center.

In addition, we provided a plan for returning the area to a marshy habitat (navigable by boat), reclaiming existing oil storage drums for sound + sculpture installations. Visible from Manhattan, Williamsburg and Greenpoint and of course everyone passing on the East River, the vertically oriented boat storage building doubled as an iconic object-as-billboard with the stacked boats advertising the new water park in the former industrial wasteland.

More people using the cities waterways leads to cleaner waterways and happier people.
