Our design for the garden at the Brooklyn Museum provides a quiet refuge from the city where the public can gather. The space was transformed through the installation of a long wood bench composed of solid timbers, offering bleacher-like seating for lounging or future programming, while providing a visual break from the adjacent parking lot.

The design is intentionally flexible to accommodate a wide variety of museum events. Our proposal is that the garden might someday expand into the adjacent parking lot to create a very large outdoor space in the heart of Brooklyn.
