Barge Hotel

Concept, 2011
Brooklyn Bridge Park

Hotels don’t have to be permanent. In 2011, we were planning for Brooklyn Bridge Park — a theatre and a hotel — projects that would take years to develop. We thought: what could we make right now? Our idea repurposes a barge and some vintage trailers, and you can dock it where it’s needed.
