For ten years we have been working with Brooklyn’s Edmond J. Safra Synagogue community, helping them plan for a new synagogue on the corner of Ocean Parkway and Avenue U.  The new building will be three stories tall with a thirty-foot-deep landscaped plaza facing Ocean Parkway. The limestone and granite building’s design recalls Brooklyn’s grand civic buildings from the 1920’s-30’s, with Art Deco and neo-Classical proportions and details.
