annabelle selldorf gives ‘one domino square’ an iridescent facade

brooklyn’s glimmering tower at one domino square

One Domino Square, a new luxury condominium development designed by the renowned Selldorf Architects, has risen on the Brooklyn waterfront alongside the iconic Williamsburg Bridge. The architecture stands out for its facade of iridescent, pearl-like porcelain, which will bring a soft lightness to the neighborhood’s largely industrial urban fabric.

This 39-story tower joins a neighboring 55-story rental skyscraper to form a cohesive 700,000-square-foot complex. Together, the project marks the third ground-up residential addition to the Domino Sugar Factory site, and is part of Two Trees Management’s ongoing revival of the area into a vibrant mixed-use neighborhood. One Domino Square also neighbors The Refinery at Domino, the historic sugar factory building renovated in September 2023 which now houses modern workspaces (see designboom’s coverage here).

One Domino Square offers 160 condominiums for purchase, designed by architect Annabelle Selldorf, which range from one-bedroom units to expansive three-bedroom residences covering over 2,700 square feet. Several penthouses open onto sweeping views across the East River and toward the Manhattan skyline beyond. The two towers are connected by a seven-story podium, which will house retail space on the ground floor and a staggering 45,000 square feet of amenities spread across five floors.

‘As the condominiums at One Domino Square make their market debut, we’re extremely proud of the contribution that the buildings will make to the city at large. The porcelain-clad towers, with their iridescent pearl-like surface, stand out but at the same time blend seamlessly with the waterfront.‘ says Annabelle Selldorf, Principal of Selldorf Architects.

‘Our focus at One Domino Square is creating visually striking buildings which contribute to the larger neighborhood and the New York City skyline in dialogue with the Williamsburg Bridge, the East River and beyond, and also on creating great living spaces in the apartments and amenities alike to serve the residents‘
