Program and Design: 1 Dekalb Avenue is a 77-unit, six-story multi-family building over two levels of parking. The design resolves a prominent but irregular urban site, and incorporates a new public park along its main frontage. The building's mass is broken by a vertical stair tower clad in composite metal panel with a continuous, projecting glass curtain wall window that becomes illuminated at night. The remainder of the building is skinned in a mosaic of terra cotta rainscreen panels broken by horizontal bands of composite metal. The sixth floor is set back from the lower floors to create terraces for the apartment units, and a wood-clad canopy frames a rooftop amenity space and green roof.

A converted industrial aesthetic was employed in the facades.
