"This boathouse has the best view in the world,” says architect Stephen Cassell, gazing out the window of the Brooklyn Bridge Park Boathouse he designed with Adam Yarinsky, a fellow principal at Architecture Research Office (ARO). With an enviably clear sight line across the East River to Lower Manhattan, the simple structure is home to a variety of functions: free public kayaking programs, a pilot for a potential park information center, and new public bathroom facilities beyond other existing ones. “You can never have too many bathrooms in a park,” explains Eric Landau, president of the Brooklyn Bridge Park Corporation.
