Cycle Architecture + Planning

By Tony Daniels and Cycle Architecture + Planning

"Cycle Architecture + Planning is a Brooklyn based company that provides architecture, urban design, sustainable design, and development consulting services to public agencies, individuals and businesses.  

CA+P is the Architecture and Urban Research practice of Cycle Architecture, PLLC, founded in 2007. A publicly engaged firm that seeks out projects in the public interest, Cycle Architecture + Planning works with its clients and collaborating partners to create urban design and architecture for living cities and buildings. An analytically focused practice with deep roots in the expanding issue of sustainability, CA+P designs, plans, manages, and executes projects for clients large, small, and in-between with a calibrated understanding of the competing interests that characterize work in the public arena.

CA+P is first and foremost a collaborating studio that brings people of diverse backgrounds and aspirations together. While the goals for our work are common, there is room for individual expression and focused inquiry in our work.  Grounded in technical architecture that is a necessary prerequisite for producing low and zero energy buildings, the practice researches, investigates, and seeks to develop easily implemented and understood solutions to complex problems.  While no commercial practice chooses all of its clients, CA+P seeks out challenges and works with community groups, non-profits, businesses, and individuals to optimize developments with unusual requirements or unrealized potential."

The image shows the steel framework of the new structure adjacent to an existing brown brick apartment building with red fire escapes. A crane is in operation, and construction workers are visible on the site. Surrounding the site are rows of older buildings and dense tree canopies.

The structure features balconies with black metal railings, large grid windows, and a rooftop terrace with greenery. Autumn trees line the sidewalk in front of the building, suggesting a late-season atmosphere.
