Construction is nearing completion on 76 North 8th Street, a four-story residential building in North Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Designed by Pliskin Architecture and developed by LTNG, the 8,821-square-foot structure will yield three condominium units with an average scope of 1,824 square feet. Largo 76N8 LLC is listed as the owner of the property, which is located on an interior lot between Kent and Wythe Avenues.
Exterior work is almost finished on the main northern elevation, which features a distinctive concave geometry that deepens toward the lower floors. The façade is composed of red brick laid in a diagonally cascading bond pattern and recessed floor-to-ceiling windows. Construction is still wrapping up on the ground floor behind construction fencing, and portions of the brick façade will need to be cleaned.

The building will contain one triplex apartment, a single floor-through apartment, and a duplex unit with a private roof deck. The proposed layouts will range from 1,400 square feet up to 2,600 square feet.
The nearest subway from the site is the L train at the Bedford Avenue station to the southeast.
YIMBY expects 76 North 8th Street to complete construction in late spring or early summer.

do all these gymnastics of concavity bring us a greater urbanity, or just trickery.
Oy, that concave wall gives me vertigo, at least in the photos. I need to see this in person.
Looks great, minus that one seam!
Williamsburg just doesn’t stop getting fancier and fancier..
Stain on the surface it doesn’t make me dizzy, as much as the curve of the building: Thanks.
Awesome.
Unfortunately it is sitting next to that cinderblock abomination next door.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen something like this before—fantastic concave concept, and outstanding brick work!
The masonry is quite beautiful. But is the brick work already showing signs of decay?
