This historic Studebaker service station underwent renovation and repurposing into office and studio space for Brooklyn's creative community. Originally built in the 1920s, the 155,000 sq ft structure required a complete exterior and interior overhaul.

The four-story building was transformed by introducing two 8’ x 92’ skylights, bringing daylight to the deep floor plates. The raw industrial spirit was preserved and updated with modern mechanical systems, IT infrastructure, a central circulation core (including an elevator and connecting stair), and rooftop photovoltaic panels.
