Brooklyn Bridge Park Pier 1 Pavilion Receives 2026 AIA Small Project Award
New York, NY — L&K Partners is proud to announce the Brooklyn Bridge Park Pier 1 Pavilion has received a 2026 American Institute of Architects (AIA) Small Project Award, recognizing excellence in architecture and design.
Located at the main entrance to Brooklyn Bridge Park, the Pier 1 Pavilion serves as a welcoming gateway to the waterfront park. Designed by Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects in collaboration with Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates, the project features three stone-clad buildings beneath a sculptural canopy that house public restrooms, concessions, and park operations while maintaining open views and circulation. Opened in April 2025 as part of the park's 15th anniversary, the pavilion enhances the visitor experience and strengthens connections between the surrounding neighborhoods and the 85-acre park.
As Construction Manager, L&K Partners partnered closely with the design team and project stakeholders to deliver the pavilion's custom stonework, exposed structural elements, sustainable building systems, and seamless integration into the active park.
"We are honored to have been part of the exceptional team behind the Pier 1 Pavilion, alongside Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects, Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates, Brooklyn Bridge Park, and the many talented partners who brought this vision to life," said John McCarthy-O'Hea, CEO and Partner of L&K Partners. "We're proud to have helped create a public space that will serve New Yorkers and visitors for generations."
The AIA Small Project Award celebrates projects that demonstrate outstanding design regardless of size or budget. The recognition highlights the Pier 1 Pavilion as an example of how thoughtful design and collaboration can create a lasting civic space.
