An overhauled Tobacco Warehouse in Brooklyn Bridge Park will include a “flexible performance space” and 1,000 square feet set aside for local artists in an 18,000-square-foot enclosed building, Curbed reported. The currently roofless structure was the home of theater troupe St. Ann’s Warehouse until about a year ago.

Rogers Marvel Architects appears to be the architect on record, Curbed said. They presented the plans last night to a Brooklyn Community Board 2 subcommittee.

Landscape architect Michael Van Valkenberg has also devised plans for a 7,600-square-foot public space that will be accessible during the park’s hours. Its design will reflect a “walled birch tree grove” and could also double as an entrance to the theater space. [Curbed]Zachary Kussin
