nARCHITECTS is designing the Wyckoff House Museum in East Flatbush, Brooklyn, the site of New York’s oldest house. A new building will house the cultural education complex and offer programming, event space, and offices for visitors to the Wyckoff House, part of which dates from the 1650s. The cultural education center is designed as a portal between its present-day environment to the historical site. The project is part of the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation’s Design Excellence Program and will be rated LEED Silver. Construction is slated to begin in 2013.
