New Look 360 Smith Continues Making an Impression

The redesign of 360 Smith Street unveiled last week at a Carroll Gardens Neighborhood Association meeting by the developer, Billy Stein, continues to elicit reaction from residents. The CORD group, which was formed after original renderings or the Robert Scarano-designed "Heavy Metal" building were posted last May, offered up a photoshopped view of Second Place as it might look with the new building as well as a rendering that included blue sky in order to make the building stand out more. Of the view from Second Place, CORD writes on its blog: "It is clear how large the mass is from the surrounding architecture...second place and smith street are dwarfed by this bulk."
