A floating boathouse design for the Harlem River wins an Art Commission award
Designed by Armand LeGardeur with Robert A.M. Stern Architects for the nonprofit New York Restoration Project, the boathouse floats on the Harlem River so as not to harm the intertidal shore south of Sherman Creek. It stores and launches sixteen boats, with offices, exercise rooms and a spectator deck upstairs. The design won a New York City Art Commission award in 2001.
