Building of the Day

Location

1 Orchard Beach Rd, The Bronx, NY 10464

This major endeavor will bring life back to the deteriorated 140,000 sf landmark. The main structure of the Pavilion, constructed in the 1930s under the New Deal program, will be reconstructed, including the elevated promenade and gracefully curving loggias. Vividly glazed terracotta and terrazzo will be recast to match the historic materials, and concession spaces will receive new utilities and finishes. Resilient infrastructure and accessible paths will extend throughout the pavilion for the first time.

Architect: MARVEL

Meeting location will be emailed to registered attendees the day before the tour.
