Atrium at Sumner

Studio Libeskind designed the Atrium at Sumner in Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, on NYCHA’s Sumner Houses Campus. The $132 million building is a partnership with the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA), the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), the NYC Housing Development Corporation (HDC), Selfhelp Community Services, RiseBoro, and Urban Builders Collaborative/Lettire Construction Corp. The 11-story senior building was constructed on underutilized land on NYCHA’s Sumner Houses campus. The new building features 190 apartments, with 132 available to senior households earning below or equivalent to 50 percent of Area Median Income (AMI), 57 units reserved for seniors who had formerly experienced homelessness, and an apartment designated for a live-in superintendent. Located in the park-like setting of the existing Sumner Houses campus on Marcus Garvey Boulevard between Park Avenue and Myrtle Avenue, the building will feature 132,418 square feet of affordable senior housing, coupled with a ground-level community facility of 8,309 square feet. The design features a dynamic, yet rational geometric form interrupted by a pattern of open and solid elements.
