Urban Retreat

Loden’s architectural aesthetics reflect its locale near the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and Prospect Park. The glass and metal exterior possesses an elemental materiality, while floor-to-ceiling windows maximize natural light and views. Lush courtyard landscaping creates the ultimate city sanctuary.

From the Architect

“Influenced by its proximity to Prospect Park, the exterior design reflects the scale and materiality of the Crown Heights neighborhood. The glass and metal upper floors open up the views to the park and maximize natural light to the units. The courtyard helps break up the mass with greenery, a pavilion, and a fireplace offering a refreshing break from the urban landscape.”
– David West, FAIA, Co-Founder of Hill West Architects
