This office-to-school conversation, designed to accommodate The Shefa School’s unique pedagogic model of dual-language, personalizes instruction for K-8 students, and provides an adaptable home where students can grow and thrive. The transformation of an abandoned 1920s office building on Manhattan’s Upper West Side created a vertical campus for elementary and middle school age students with learning disabilities.
The historic building’s 100-year-old framework presented both challenges and opportunities, guiding the design to vertically stack the school’s diverse program across 12 floors. To make the new program work, substantial renovations were needed. A third of each floor was rebuilt to accommodate a new core and elevators, and the two top floors were removed and reconstructed for a new gym and play roof. The terracotta façade and copper cornice were preserved and rebuilt.
By weaving together historic elements with innovative design, Shefa’s new home is more than a school; it is a community anchor that embodies the mission of empowering students to reach their fullest potential. The project demonstrates how architecture can elevate education and inspire a shared sense of purpose.
Congratulations to all the winners!
Dattner Architects is a women-owned design firm. This is a milestone for our practice, which was founded 60 years ago. Our long-standing commitment to equity and inclusion has organically fostered women to thrive and achieve at the highest level of leadership.

Raising my daughter solidified my commitment to leadership in the future of sustainable public architecture, and I could not be more proud to share in a majority women owned partnership that embodies these values."

The Center for Active Design recently featured New Settlement Community Center, a new Pre-K through 12th grade school and community center in the Bronx, as one of their case studies. Some of the campus’ active design features include indoor and outdoor learning spaces and activity hubs, a healthy food program, stairwells with windows to admit natural light. Natural light is a way of turning any drab space into a space of activity. A unique feature of the building is its dual program of community center and school allows both programs to take advantage of shared spaces such as a pool, gymnasium, roof top garden, and outdoor amphitheater. Read more about the case study at the Center for Active Design website.

The Rory Meyers Children's Adventure Garden is listed in National Geographic Channel’s Smart Cities programs. Ian MacFarlane, consultant for the program, identifies a smart city as having “heart and soul—typically the center, where people congregate for work and leisure.
Smart cities are well-connected locally and internationally, have a sustainable lifestyle, and are places where people come first.”
With over 150 exhibits aimed at school-aged children, 8 acres of nature and varying topography in a large urban and flat city, we certainly view the project as a smart component of the city.

Richard Dattner FAIA reviewed "10 Stories of Collective Housing" by A+T Research Group for Architectural Record this month. The authors, also the publishers, are a Spanish collective that traced the development of ten collective housing projects from 1919 to the 1970s. Richard describes the books as "a superlative example of how well-organized and stunning graphics can allow for comparisons between projects; and a manifesto for promoting humane high-density living." Not only do the authors draw each project, they analyze the political and socio-economic advantages and liabilities.

The White Plains Housing Authority and Jonathan Rose Companies celebrated the groundbreaking of the first building of the Brookfield Commons development, The Prelude. Located in downtown White Plains, the Dattner Architects-designed Prelude is the first phase of the long-term neighborhood-wide transformation and comprehensive revitalization of the White Plains Housing Authority's Winbrook campus. The 450-unit campus is typical of 1940s era public housing and faces the challenges posed by aging housing stock. The Prelude includes 104 affordable housing units and a community facility that provides onsite support services and programs to promote the economic empowerment, self-sufficiency and financial independence of the community. It is a model project for the redevelopment of a housing authority campus, and is particularly important for the City of White Plains and Westchester County, as it presents a mixed-use and mixed-income community in an area where many have found it challenging to develop quality affordable housing.

Expectations for Communications are growing annually within AEC firms. In addition to more traditional marketing communications such as newsletters, communications increasingly includes media relations, social media, blogs, and internal communications. However, blogs, tweets, posts, and pitches must be content-driven and tailored to the intended audience. How is the best way to manage this for your firm? How do you have time to do it? What can or should you outsource? Join our own Kirsten Sibilia and three other distinguished panelists for a conversation on May 1 at this year's SMPS ÜBER Conference in Atlantic City, NJ. These industry leaders bring a variety of perspectives: an in-house Communications Director leads a dedicated team for a mid-size firm with an international practice; a Marketing Principal of a small firm who juggles doing business development, marketing, and communications with a small team; a Communications Consultant who works with small, medium and large firms who outsource their needs; and the Editor of a leading design magazine who is on the receiving end of our pitches and tweets – and also generating his own.

As a prelude to the issue's focus on game changers she mentions Jonathan Rose in particular for his involvement with Via Verde, among other projects including EyeBAM. Ian Volner's Game Changers 2014 exposé "Jonathan F.P. Rose" recounts Rose's early years and his role on Via Verde and the forthcoming EyeBAM project in Brooklyn.
[caption id="attachment_4276" align="alignnone" width="560"] Brooklyn Cultural District: Apartments (formerly EyeBAM)[/caption]
Of the projects' process and Via Verde in particular, Szenasy states, "Such joy can come only from overcoming odds, accomplishing something of value, being part of a larger community. The memorable design has come to symbolize all their efforts; its enduring mark is certain to be felt for generations to come."
Susan Szenasy, editor of Metropolis, visited Via Verde during the Rudy Bruner Award ceremony and leads the January issue by citing in her opening column, titled "It Does Take a Village," the value of collaborative relationships in overcoming the odds in getting "anything worthwhile done."

The Center for Active Design recently featured New Settlement Community Center, a new Pre-K through 12th grade school and community center in the Bronx, as one of their case studies. Some of the campus’ active design features include indoor and outdoor learning spaces and activity hubs, a healthy food program, stairwells with windows to admit natural light. Natural light is a way of turning any drab space into a space of activity. A unique feature of the building is its dual program of community center and school allows both programs to take advantage of shared spaces such as a pool, gymnasium, roof top garden, and outdoor amphitheater. Read more about the case study at the Center for Active Design website.
Architect magazine has released its Top 50 lists, and Dattner Architects is proud to be included in the Top 50 Design category. Compiled by an independent jury reviewing recent design portfolios as well as awards received and even the number of licensed architects in each firm, the national list includes architecture firms of varying sizes practicing in different markets. We are pleased to be one of a handful of New York City firms included.
The Rory Meyers Children's Adventure Garden is listed in National Geographic Channel’s Smart Cities programs. Ian MacFarlane, consultant for the program, identifies a smart city as having “heart and soul—typically the center, where people congregate for work and leisure.
Smart cities are well-connected locally and internationally, have a sustainable lifestyle, and are places where people come first.”
With over 150 exhibits aimed at school-aged children, 8 acres of nature and varying topography in a large urban and flat city, we certainly view the project as a smart component of the city.
GreenSource, The Magazine of Sustainable Design has picked up Via Verde for "Going the Green Way" in its project section. The article describes the background of the site, the competition, and its opening before launching into the sustainable and community building measures for which the building has become so well-known.
While mentioning the green roof, the article focuses on the photovoltaic systems and energy consumption.
Dattner Architects’ 13-story residential building at 81 Fleet Place, known as The Giovanni, is under construction. Red Apple Group’s new housing development, which will contain 200 apartments—20% of which will be affordable—is located in Brooklyn’s Fort Greene neighborhood, an area which NewYorkYIMBY.com describes as being in “particular need of density and some semblance of urbanity.” The development will increase pedestrian connectivity and provide 10,000 square feet of retail space.
The Dallas Arboretum plays an increasingly important role as an educational facility for Dallas-area schoolchildren and the Rory Meyers Children’s Adventure Garden plays a large role in that. In addition to 8-acres of landscaped foliage and the 10,000 square foot Discovery Center, the project includes a number of water features.
A recent article at Landscapeonline.com explores the multiple facets of the outdoor experience.
The city of White Plains is redeveloping its housing stock. Jonathan Rose Companies is incrementally renewing Winbrook Campus into Brookfield Commons. The Dattner Architects-designed "The Prelude," as the name implies, is the first of several new towers to come. This first phase includes 104 units and a community center. The building, which broke ground earlier this year, is expected to open next year. New York YIMBY covers the story in their Revealed column.
Winding its way through the arboretum, the 200-foot-long steel-structured Skywalk provides a bird's-eye view of the treetops and the lush under foliage.
Learn more about the use of steel in this component of our project for the Rory Meyers Children’s Adventure Garden at the Dallas Arboretum. Principal Beth Greenberg AIA recently penned an article about her project for Metal Architecture magazine.

Richard Dattner FAIA reviewed "10 Stories of Collective Housing" by A+T Research Group for Architectural Record this month. The authors, also the publishers, are a Spanish collective that traced the development of ten collective housing projects from 1919 to the 1970s. Richard describes the books as "a superlative example of how well-organized and stunning graphics can allow for comparisons between projects; and a manifesto for promoting humane high-density living." Not only do the authors draw each project, they analyze the political and socio-economic advantages and liabilities.
Dattner Architects' design for Camba Gardens II has been profiled in the Wall Street Journal and Curbed. 293 affordable and supportive housing units will occupy the site of the former psych ward at Kings County Hospital Center. The new building will join Camba Gardens I, which opened in October 2013. The 257,000 square foot building will be sustainable and include a number of amenities. Camba Gardens II will open in 2016.

The White Plains Housing Authority and Jonathan Rose Companies celebrated the groundbreaking of the first building of the Brookfield Commons development, The Prelude. Located in downtown White Plains, the Dattner Architects-designed Prelude is the first phase of the long-term neighborhood-wide transformation and comprehensive revitalization of the White Plains Housing Authority's Winbrook campus. The 450-unit campus is typical of 1940s era public housing and faces the challenges posed by aging housing stock. The Prelude includes 104 affordable housing units and a community facility that provides onsite support services and programs to promote the economic empowerment, self-sufficiency and financial independence of the community. It is a model project for the redevelopment of a housing authority campus, and is particularly important for the City of White Plains and Westchester County, as it presents a mixed-use and mixed-income community in an area where many have found it challenging to develop quality affordable housing.
Via Verde has been included in the March-April issue of Architectural Design. While focusing on aging populations, the issue addresses larger issues of the design of housing and other built provisions to accommodate an ever-expanding aging population, creating sustainable cities for the changing profile of the population, reducing models of dependency for care and transport while creating opportunities for recreation, leisure and work.
Congratulations to our team on the ribbon cutting of the new state-of-the-art Urgent Care Center at Brookdale University Hospital and Medical Center. The facility, funded by a HEAL grant from the New York State, is expected to treat 18,000 to 20,000 patients annually for non-emergency medical needs, such as flu and cold, chest or muscle pain, infection or broken bones. Our design for the 8,500 sf facility includes 12 exam rooms, radiology, and a pharmacy.

New York Public Library is celebrating re-opening day with free programming from 11 a.m. - 7 pm.
Expectations for Communications are growing annually within AEC firms. In addition to more traditional marketing communications such as newsletters, communications increasingly includes media relations, social media, blogs, and internal communications. However, blogs, tweets, posts, and pitches must be content-driven and tailored to the intended audience. How is the best way to manage this for your firm? How do you have time to do it? What can or should you outsource? Join our own Kirsten Sibilia and three other distinguished panelists for a conversation on May 1 at this year's SMPS ÜBER Conference in Atlantic City, NJ. These industry leaders bring a variety of perspectives: an in-house Communications Director leads a dedicated team for a mid-size firm with an international practice; a Marketing Principal of a small firm who juggles doing business development, marketing, and communications with a small team; a Communications Consultant who works with small, medium and large firms who outsource their needs; and the Editor of a leading design magazine who is on the receiving end of our pitches and tweets – and also generating his own.
