"Revitalized Domino Sugar Factory Transforms into Sustainable Office Tower in Brooklyn"

The new Domino Refinery in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, is a stunning example of adaptive reuse, with a glass nave inserted into the 19th-century industrial building. The architecture mediates between the past and the future, preserving the historic shell while creating a modern office space. The design by architect Vishaan Chakrabarti features irregularly aligned floors, a light well, and arched openings that provide dramatic views. The project is a capstone of New York City's waterfront revitalization efforts and serves as a reminder of the dark history of the sugar industry.
