NYC HPD considers Navy Green Supportive Housing one of the agency’s marquis projects for design excellence within the Supportive Housing program. On the outside it’s a bold beacon; the building is perceived as a billboard from the expressway, and a warm and welcoming neighbor at the street. A boldly-shaped canopy wraps a double-height glazed storefront and becomes a bench and planter enclosure, creating a welcoming gesture for residents. For many of them, this is their first stable home and community.
