1100: Wins Design Award from NYC Public Design Commission

When the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation set out to save time and cost on its construction projects, it hired 1100 Architect to design a novel approach that would enable the Department to use modular construction. The pilot project that emerged from this approach—a comfort station in Staten Island’s Luis Lopez Park—was awarded a Design Award from the NYC Public Design Commission (PDC). In its statement, the PDC said: “this comfort station prototype utilizes the efficiencies of off-site construction and the lower costs associated with modular production techniques to economically provide amenities in the City’s public spaces.”
