May 11, 2023445 Carroll Street Nears Completion in Gowanus, Brooklyn
Jun 15, 2023By: Michael Young and Matt Pruznick 7:30 am on June 5, 2023
Construction is nearing completion on 445 Carroll Street, a four-story mixed-use building in Gowanus, Brooklyn. Designed by Opera Studio and developed and constructed by The Wooden Block Co., the 5,988-square-foot structure will yield a single 2,965-square-foot residential unit, 1,023 square feet of ground-floor commercial space, and a 2,000-square-foot cellar. The project is located on a 20-foot-wide plot between 3rd Avenue to the east and Nevins Street to the west.
The main elevation is composed of a hand-laid brick façade with various running bond patterns that spans the second and third stories and wraps around the southeast corner. A cornice line caps the masonry volume before the structure transitions to a dark gray stucco extension. The majority of the eastern elevation is enclosed in light gray finished concrete. Sidewalk fencing still obscures the ground-floor and entrance, but should be dismantled in the coming weeks as work draws to a close.

An axonometric diagram shows 445 Carroll Street extending 100 feet back from the sidewalk. The structure has a maximum height of 55 feet and reaches 45 feet tall along the street wall. The main entrance is recessed into southern elevation and positioned beyond a staircase that leads to the basement. On the rooftop is a stair bulkhead that sits in front of a sloped glass skylight. There will also be a rear green roof and a narrower secondary skylight.
