Looking back to one of our favorites! It brings us great joy knowing we help build our very own home town - Midwood!

Check it out 👇

1825 Ocean Avenue - an 8 story, 81,000 square foot, 93 unit residential apartment building in Midwood Brooklyn that redefines contemporary living.

The design and façade are articulated to fit in by contrast to the adjacent context of massive red brick buildings with small windows that line the avenue and which have a lack of connection to the exterior, street front and neighborhood. The undulating street façade, materials and large glass window and doors open up the building interiors to engage with the street front and provide exterior connection with terraces, balconies, private yards at grade as well as a shared roof garden. The Interiors are designed to have contemporary open space plans within the apartments with naturally lit public corridors connecting shared amenity spaces throughout the building including lounge and game room, work spaces, laundry, gym as well as a roof garden that capitalize on panoramic views of Brooklyn. The building design forms a contemporary place that enhances living with connections created between interior and exterior as well as the surrounding neighborhood, while being a catalyst for interactions within the building amongst those that live there.

Last week, we highlighted how large windows frame panoramic urban views. Today, we’re looking at how to extend those views outdoors: the rooftop.

For a long time, building tops were treated purely as utility space—relegated to HVAC units and solar panels. At NA Design Studio, we view the roof as the ultimate amenity.

Unlocking this square footage adds tremendous value for tenants and developers alike:

Multi-functional programming: From private lounging terraces to outdoor kitchens equipped for weekend gatherings.

Unbeatable context: Sweeping perspectives overlooking iconic urban green spaces like Brooklyn’s Prospect Park.

Seamless outdoor living: Expanding the livable envelope of the building into the open air.

Swipe through to see how we transformed these upper levels into vibrant community hubs.

Design features aren't just details—they define how a space feels.

At NA Design, full-height glazing is easily one of our favorite architectural strategies. For us, maximizing window area goes far beyond simply checking off light and ventilation code requirements. It’s about delivering exceptional value:

For Tenants: Flooding living spaces with daylight, framing panoramic urban views, and creating a sense of openness.

For Clients: Enhancing unit desirability and tenant retention while giving the building façade a clean, high-end aesthetic.

When architecture seamlessly connects interior comfort with the surrounding skyline, everyone wins.

For too long, cellars have been dismissed as dark, utilitarian volumes. A necessary but uninspiring container for mechanical equipment and storage.

At NA Design Studio, we challenge this conventional wisdom. We see untapped potential in every volume of a project.

By utilizing strategic site planning and calculated architectural setbacks, we’ve transformed a subterranean space in Brooklyn into the most sought-after program in the entire building: a vibrant, double-height lounge.

We didn't just dig a cellar; we sculpted an atrium. As you can see in the photos, our design enables abundant natural light to pe*****te deep into the space, creating a warm and inviting environment that contradicts its own level. This innovative approach elevates the cellar from a secondary amenity to the heart of the building—a dynamic hub for relaxation and connection.

We continue to push the envelope of what a project is expected to be, revealing what a project is truly capable of becoming.

How are you maximizing potential in your designs?

At NA Design, we feel there is a distinct magic in watching a design evolve past the drafting phase. For us, rendering isn't just about creating a pretty picture—it is the pivotal moment where flat, 2D conceptual lines transform into a living, breathing 3D element. Whether we are sculpting the subtle rhythm of a street-level façade, playing with the warmth of metal accents against the afternoon sky, or testing how a new structure engages with the surrounding urban fabric, these visualizations allow us to truly inhabit the space before a single brick is laid. They are the bridge that helps our clients see not just a building, but a finished home, community, and addition to the New York skyline.

We are incredibly honored to share that NA Design Studio has received the 2026 SARA National AI Design Award! 🏆

We recently integrated Ark Design Software into a new mixed-use project in Brooklyn, NY. By leveraging this AI technology, we were able to rapidly explore dozens of design iterations with incredible speed and efficiency—all while keeping our core design intent entirely intact.

The true value of AI in architecture goes far beyond just speed. By automating the heavy, repetitive lifting, it unlocks the time and mental space we need to focus on deep thinking and creative design. We are genuinely excited for the future of our industry and the new ways AI will elevate our craft.

A massive thank you to the Society of American Registered Architects | New York Council (SARA NY) for this incredible recognition, and congratulations to our fellow nominees who continue to push the envelope every day.

We are also ecstatic to share the spotlight with Dity Ayalon, AIA SARA and the entire team at ArkDesign.AI. Thank you for creating such game-changing technology, and for your incredible collaboration within the New York design community. Here’s to building the future together! 🚀

Thank you to Tzara Peterson and Fabiyan Pembelski
and Kevin Regalado for organizing this event.
Great sitting down with Michal Halevy from Wexler Associates always a pleasure to catch-up!
