Soundview Ferry Terminal
Soundview is a ferry terminal designed as a mixed use complex on a waterfront site in the Bronx, New York City. Three building volumes are clustered along the waterfront beside an existing dock, forming a semi-enclosed courtyard for an outdoor market and public events. Two passageways on the ground level allow movement into the market and towards the landing dock. The larger upper levels are connected and offer full height, naturally lit spaces for small business incubation, offices and storage. The cantilevered upper floors are supported by a space frame resting on fanning columns.
