The Philip & Cheryl Milstein Family Tennis Center, designed by Perkins&Will, is a pragmatic and carefully planned building located on the banks of Spuyten Duyvil Creek in Manhattan. The 66,000-square-foot facility replaces an outdated tennis center and provides 12 courts for practice, competition, and recreation. The design includes flood vents and other measures to protect against flooding, allowing water to flow through the building during severe weather events. The building's exterior features a combination of white insulated metal cladding, translucent polycarbonate panels, and vertical fins in Columbia blue. The design team's adaptation strategy saved costs and reduced embodied carbon. [Extracted from the article]
