290 Tompkins Avenue pairs charcoal brick with pale cast-stone piers to craft a confident urban silhouette. A stack of recessed balconies introduces a subtle vertical rhythm while giving every apartment a private outdoor perch above the street canopy. The ground-level façade pulls back to create sheltered parking and a glazed lobby, its light stone cladding accentuating the building’s base and brightening the pedestrian edge. Altogether, the project delivers a refined infill solution that balances durability, neighborhood context, and resident amenity on a compact Brooklyn site.
