Design Studio WORKSTEAD Unveils First Residential Development

A 100-year-old building that was once Brooklyn’s hottest destination to see and be seen, and is now being reimagined by two young design darlings with hospitality pedigree—WORKSTEAD and ASH NYC.

One Prospect Park West is an incredible Classical Revival building located directly on Prospect Park that comes complete with an intriguing history. It was built in 1925 by the Knights of Columbus and served as a lavish hotel, clubhouse and hotspot for Park Slope society events for nearly 40 years. Now, the golden era building—which previously boasted eclectic features such as a bowling alley, a ballroom and even an indoor swimming pool—is being converted by developer Sugar Hill Capital Partners and transformed into a collection of luxury residences by WORKSTEAD, the acclaimed design studio behind the Wythe Hotel and Hudson’s Rivertown Lodge, representing the firm’s very first residential development.

This 2,695-square-foot residence includes three bedrooms and three and a half baths, along with a den that opens to a spacious living area with large windows framing views of Prospect Park, and features an array of playful textures and contemporary furnishings.

Offering traditional forms and pre-war inspired details executed through a modern lens, including reclaimed heart-pine floorboards and crafted moldings and paneling, WORKSTEAD's design is attracting a stream of buyers on the hunt for their next home, as evidenced by One Prospect Park West’s spate of recent activity, including the record-breaking sale of the most expensive condominium to ever go into contract in the Park Slope neighborhood.

Residents will have access to an array of luxurious amenities designed by WORKSTEAD. In addition to a basketball court, movement studio, fitness center, spa and library, the building will also feature a rooftop meadow (complete with an apple orchard!) designed by ODA, representing the acclaimed architecture firm's first-ever landscape-only commission.
