Role: Sara Lopergolo (Design Partner, Selldorf Architects)

The project comprises of the adaptive reuse of a historic Studebaker service station, repurposed as office and studio spaces for Brooklyn’s creative community, and the conversion of an adjacent garage into Berg’n, a 9,000 SF beer garden style restaurant. The responsibilities encompassed project design, detailing, building restoration, furniture and lighting design, and construction observation.

A portion of the existing roof was removed to create a 1,200 sf enclosed outdoor courtyard with seating. Inside, the main beer hall space has long picnic tables made from reclaimed wood, a refurbished vintage bar, food vendor stalls clad in quilted stainless steel, and industrial copper light fixtures. This project was realized with Bostudio Architecture, serving as Architect of Record.
