One Domino Square: Selldorf Architects’ Residential Marvel in Brooklyn

A Landmark Residential Skyscraper

One Domino Square marks Selldorf Architects’ first residential skyscraper, creating a striking presence along Brooklyn’s waterfront. The project features connected 55-story and 39-story towers, clad in shimmering porcelain tiles that capture and reflect the dynamic light of the East River and the surrounding Domino Park. Its façade mirrors the natural and urban environment, blending elegance with the energy of Brooklyn and Manhattan’s skyline.

The twin towers engage in a visual dialogue with the historic Domino Sugar Factory site, establishing a new architectural benchmark for waterfront residential design. Residents enjoy uninterrupted views of Manhattan, the Statue of Liberty, and iconic bridges, including the Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Williamsburg bridges.
