The Space

Designed for design-led weddings.

The Foundry is a single 4,200-square-foot column-free volume with four preserved cast-iron columns down the centerline, a 30-foot ceiling, and a wall of north-facing industrial windows. The architectural choice was to take away, not add.

We kept the original 1908 polished-concrete floor — with the foundry-era patches visible — and the four columns where they were stamped. We added the minimum architecture necessary for HVAC, electrical, ADA, and rooftop access. Nothing else.

A mezzanine overlooks the gallery for cocktail hour. A freight bay houses the service spine. A rooftop opens April through October with a Manhattan skyline view. A small Studio at the north end is the getting-ready space.

Forty-two weddings a year. Corporate events Monday through Friday. Four art installations a year. The building does all three.

The Owners

A designer and an architect, in partnership.

Anika Patel was an art director at Wallpaper* for seven years before she moved to Brooklyn in 2010 and started a small design studio. Tobias Okafor trained in architecture at Yale, then five years at OMA New York, then his own practice from 2013.

They met at a Storefront for Art and Architecture opening in 2014. By 2018 they were partners — professional first, romantic second — looking for a building.

They found the 1908 Industrial Foundry No. 7 on Wyckoff Avenue in late summer 2018. It was on a demolition list. They acquired it that October and spent two years on the renovation. The doors opened in October 2020.

Anika is the design eye. Tobias is the operations brain. They host every tour personally.

We did not adapt this building because it was a good real-estate play. We adapted it because the bones were too good to lose.
