Completed, 2026.
This residential development offers an alternative to the typical one- and two-bedroom apartments found in the neighborhood, introducing spacious family-friendly units to the heart of Williamsburg. Comprising three family-sized units, the project aims to support a growing, family-oriented community in a vibrant urban setting. The triplex and penthouse units each feature ample private outdoor spaces—an expansive rear yard and a rooftop terrace, respectively—designed to enhance urban family living. A fresh take on Brooklyn’s classic masonry style, 76 N 8th showcases a distinctive brick facade that translates contextual sensibility to a contemporary framework. The rhythm of its punched window openings speaks to the iconic Brooklyn aesthetic, while a gentle curve at the sidewalk level defines the entrance and introduces a unique corbel effect that fades as the building rises.
The corbelled brick façade mediates scale, pattern, and context. Deep openings are set within a larger curved brick surface, allowing the façade to take cues from neighboring buildings and layer them within its unique geometry. At the street, the building maintains continuity with the surrounding fabric while introducing a distinct architectural language. The interiors were design to bring daylight deep into the interior through large openings and carefully framed views of the neighborhood and nearby tree canopy. Open-plan living spaces connect directly to outdoor terraces, extending the living areas and reinforcing a strong relationship between interior and exterior spaces.
This is PANYC’s second ground-up project in Williamsburg, and it reflects our commitment to creating sustainable, family-oriented housing that enhances the neighborhood’s architectural legacy.
