Gans & Company // Design Team – D. Gans, DCAP, RMA
Brooklyn, NY // June 2017 – October 2019
Update – ‘The Courts of Sheepshead Bay’ won the AIA Brooklyn award Commendation for Resilience in 2022. As published in The Architect’s Newspaper and in the AIA Brooklyn chapter Pylon newsletter.
In October 2012 Superstorm Sandy devastated the Sheepshead Bay neighborhood of Brooklyn. Existing mews courts, located between streets and often sunken a few feet below the street grade, were hit especially hard. In the summer of 2017 construction began on elevating and rebuilding homes on Stanton Road, Mesereau Court and Webers Court. As part of Build-it-Back Brooklyn, Gans & Co led a team of three architecture firms, structural and mep engineers throughout the design, approval and construction process.
In my role as project architect for these sixteen new and elevated homes, I manage and coordinate all construction related communication between architects of record, engineers, contractors, program managers and city agencies.
