Description Show more
The Gateway Building at Brooklyn Botanic Garden welcomes guests and reactivates the Flatbush Avenue entrance. An ambitious renovation to the south end of the 52-acre landscape led by Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates includes a series of buildings and spaces we designed. The building features a handcrafted brick façade and a distinctive zinc sculpted roof. With admissions and comfort station facilities, the building’s long parallelogram form holds the street corner alongside the McKim, Mead, and White-designed arch at the former entrance at Flatbush Avenue and Empire Boulevard.
