Studio Libeskind’s Atrium at Sumner in Brooklyn, NYC’s newest affordable senior housing complex, is a contorting geometric volume punctuated by a pattern of open and solid elements.

Architecture firm Studio Libeskind has completed The Atrium at Sumner Houses, an affordable housing block with 190 apartments for seniors in Brooklyn, New York.

Studio Libeskind has inaugurated its new social housing development in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, called The Atrium at Sumner, after a three-year, $132 million construction. The 11-story, 132,418-square-foot development yields 190 total units, with an 8,309-square-foot community space located on the ground floor along Marcus Garvey Boulevard.

In the New York neighborhood of Brooklyn, the architecture studio Studio Libeskind projects “Atrium at Sumner” as an opportunity to create a residential building that generates activity through constant connections with the streets and life of the neighborhood. The project develops a set of affordable housing dedicated to improving the quality of life of seniors.

Located in the park-like setting of the existing New York City Housing Authority’s Houses campus, the building features 132,418 square feet of affordable senior housing. The new building features 190 apartments, 132 of which are available to senior households earning below or equivalent to 50 percent of Area Median Income (AMI), and 57 units reserved for seniors who had formerly experienced homelessness. The design features a dynamic yet rational geometric form interrupted by a pattern of open and solid elements.
