Live Project

Domino Sugar Refinery used to be a “beacon” in Brooklyn’s skyline. This 1880s historic industrial building is returning to life as a modern office space and it is supposed to become the nerve center of a new working waterfront. Indeed, the practice James Corner Field Operations – who has transformed the High Line – aims at seamlessly reconnecting the wide area surrounding Domino Sugar Refinery (known as Domino Park) with the neighborhood to the waterfront and turn another abandoned site into a popular destination.

The Domino Sugar Factory will be clearly visible throughout the site, and an “Artifact Walk” will display salvaged factory machinery, original columns, and crane tracks. The park will open ahead of many of the buildings in the Domino Sugar Factory complex.

PAU design has an innovative approach to this refurbishment, by nesting a brand-new building into the existing envelope, with a 10- to 12-foot gap between the new and the old. By pulling back from the original walls, ideal and standardized floor heights can be achieved, creating best-in-class office space that is designed to meet the needs of new tenants.
