DUMBO Townhouse

“DUMBO” (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass), a historic neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York has been transformed in recent decades. Today, the former industrial zone is a bustling, mixed-use area filled with galleries, shops and lofts.

01 - Description

The new Dumbo Townhouse development, constructed on the site of an old warehouse is an impressive addition. The building, created by Alloy, comprises five, 5-storey luxury townhouses, each about 3,000 sq. ft. (278.7 m2), with private parking, rooftop terraces, 20 ft (6.1 m) ceilings, fireplaces and skylights.

02 - Optimization

Designed with energy efficient building systems, the townhouses are surrounded by a unique louvered façade panel system made with Ductal® Envelope. Each of the largescale panels contains a series of ribs, covering a total surface area of 8,650 sq. ft (803.6 m2). The material’s superior properties facilitated the ability to produce a unique, robust louvered panel façade that is energy efficient while allowing both sunlight and shade to filter through to the building’s interior.
