Brooklyn Army Terminal

An old run-​down military building. Still, it’s a Brooklyn landmark, so there’s credit in that.

So there is this monstrous building on the west side of Brooklyn called the Brooklyn Army Terminal. Once the largest US military base for supplies its now a commercial/​industrial complex housing dozens of company offices and artist studios.
Why am I talking about this place? Because, architecturally, it’s a gem, and y’all need to know about it. :-)
Now the exterior alone is not worth driving over to Sunset for, it looks like many other warehouses in BK. But inside. inside the BAT is something remarkable, specifically the atrium.
Anything I write here is so not going to do it justice! A grid glass ceiling, dozens of balconies marching up the side of the building like steps, the brick, the concrete blocks, old train tracks. And then, pending the time of day you go, the light is so dreamy. There are so many pockets of shadows, I imagine it would be amazing to do a photoshoot there.
I first had the opportunity to visit for work and then later for Open House NY. Sooo worth the trek across BK to see this buildings interior. If you have the opportunity to go — do it!
