Rogers Marvel Architects

Jonathan Marvel of Rogers Marvel Architects presented to a Community Board 2 subcommittee Thursday night a revamped design for St. Ann's Warehouse, a theater to be built inside the iconic roofless Tobacco Warehouse in Brooklyn Bridge Park.

According to Curbed, the design calls for an 18,000-square-foot building with "a flexible performance space" and a "view corridor" looking out at the park and the water.

According to Theatermania, the plan also includes a 1,000-square-foot multi-use space for local artists and community groups.

Also included is a 7,600-square-foot open space designed by Michael Van Valkenberg Associates and "imagined as a walled birch tree grove."
