443 Bainbridge Street: Review and Ratings

Review of 443 Bainbridge Street by Carter Horsley

This attractive, mid-block residential building at 443 Bainbridge Street is situated between Howard and Saratoga avenues. Previously, when the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn was still considerably lined with trees, a 2-story building occupied the site. However, in 2016 developer Brookland Capital and PACS Architecture replaced it with the modern, 4-story building we see before us now.

Bottom Line

A simple, bold design for this modern, mid-block building in Bedford-Stuyvesant is highlighted by its wonderful girder-like cornice.

Description

The building has a very distinct modern design with large single-pane windows on the middle floors and a dark metal entrance marquee with smaller windows on the top floors. The smaller windows are separated by dark gray metal panels, all tucked beneath a broad and slightly projecting dark metal girder that serves as a cornice.

The building is faced with gray and white panels that relate to the gray vinyl cladding on the wood frame house next door.

Amenities

The building has a roof deck.
