Brooklyn Dominates NYC's 42nd Design Awards With Community-Centered Projects
Briefly

The Borough Park Library was commended for its design that will allow the library to be a light-filled public civic space of learning, self-improvement and community gathering that has strong architectural connections to the street and adjacent public and children's gardens. Inside the building, the ideas of connectivity are reinforced with transparent partition walls as well as an open egress stair that fosters active design and movement between floors.
Owls Head Combined Sewer Overflow Facility Headhouse and Open Space in Sunset Park was highlighted for its innovative approach to environmental preservation. The facility creatively integrates infrastructure with green space, contributing to the city’s sustainability goals by reducing runoff and enhancing resilience against flooding.
The Upper and Lower Vale project in Prospect Park also earned a distinction for revitalizing a key section of one of New York’s most iconic green spaces. The renovation brings fresh recreational facilities to the park while preserving its historic features, an approach that has been praised for its balance between innovation and conservation.
When we invest in the beauty and functionality of our public spaces, we create environments where everyone feels welcome and valued. These projects embody our vision for a city where every neighborhood thrives.
