Construction is complete on The Downing, an eight-story mixed-use building at 108 Downing Street in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. Designed by Aufgang Architects and developed by Daniel Kimya under the Fulton Star LLC, the structure yields 50 rental apartments with 15 designated for affordable housing, and 9,196 square feet of ground-floor commercial space. The Corcoran Group is in charge of marketing the homes and Fulton Star LLC was the general contractor for the property, which is located at the corner of Fulton Avenue and Downing Street.
Recent photos show the finished appearance of the building’s exterior, which is composed of red brick surrounding floor-to-ceiling windows framed by black mullions. A metal framework awning protrudes above the ground-floor frontage, and the roof is shown topped with railings for a terrace space.

Columns of angular bond patterns intersperse the brick façade between the windows, adding a textural flourish to 108 Downing Street’s appearance.

Nice fluting brickwork detail. It dresses up an otherwise fairly dull but generally inoffensive building.
I love the beautiful coordination of angles like this, it seems like the building was designed to be a private space rather than mixing with other people: Thanks.
Well done
