A renovation and adaptive reuse of an existing 3-story commercial building in Red Hook, Brooklyn. The building will accommodate a single family residence and commercial spaces. The existing structural system consists of steel beams and columns that carry composite concrete and metal deck floors. The columns are supported by spread footings. The major proposed alterations to the structure include new balconies and cantilevered spaces, a new swimming pool on the east edge of the roof, altering the level of the 1st floor. The structure had to be reviewed for wet-proofing and buoyancy due to flooding; also the lateral system had to be altered due to changes in floor framing and additional loads.
