Site Strategy

1. Where is the Sun coming from?
Sun will be coming toward Brooklyn Bridge.

2. Where is the approach (pedestrian and vehicular)?
From Peck Slip, Front Street and South Street.

It’s really quite around the site and you basically would not hear any noises.

No

Brooklyn Bridge and toward the city.

No there are not any


10. What are the heights of the surrounding buildings?
There are three to five stories high


11. Does this interfere with you building or how can your building respond?
No, it’s actually help my building to have a better look of Brooklyn bridge

12.How to you attempt to fit you building on the site?
I would use as much square footage as I can. This way I can have better spaces

Brown beak, glass and metal curtain walls.

14. How do you want your building to impact the neighborhood?
I want to make a sculptural building to be known into that landmark area.
