The Mini Pavilions comprise five distinct, but formally coherent and physically interconnected structures, specifically designed to facilitate intimate, durational experiences with select works of art. Rotating exhibitions will be on view throughout the five galleries, attracting repeat visitorship and sustaining a dialogue between Art Omi Pavilions and the broader cultural context.

The architectural vision, led by Brooklyn-based firm Solid Objectives Idenburg Liu (SO–IL), treats each gallery as chapters in an unfolding perceptual encounter, successively inviting the viewer to deepening stages of contemplation. Unifying the five pavilions under a single roof, SO–IL’s design emphasizes a continuous and cohesive experience.

Urban presence — photo courtesy @valfl24 / architect: @solidobjectives / building: 144 Vanderbilt introduces a bold residential identity to Brooklyn through color, texture, and massing.

The building is composed as a series of stacked volumes, expressed through precast, pigmented concrete panels in varying sizes. This modular assembly creates a dynamic façade that reads as a vertical composition of interlocking blocks rather than a single monolithic mass.

Its distinctive pink tone gives the project a strong urban presence while softening the heaviness typically associated with concrete. Subtle shifts in volume generate terraces, recesses, and depth—enhancing light, views, and spatial variety for residents.

Responding to its context along Myrtle Avenue, the building rises asymmetrically, reinforcing the perception of upward movement and layered construction. The result is a contemporary reinterpretation of masonry—where color and prefabrication redefine residential architecture.

Pacific partnered with Solid Objectives Idenburg Liu to evolve the firm’s brand identity and design a new digital home for their practice. Rooted in the studio’s founding values of intellectual rigor and humanistic design, the comprehensive brand refresh is built to serve the firm’s dual base in New York and Amsterdam and scale across the next decade of work.

Building on that foundation, we designed and developed a new website that features a robust project database with advanced filtering and support for long-form editorial publishing — structured to reflect both the breadth and depth of the studio’s international portfolio. The result is a restrained, highly considered platform that meets the ambition and scale of Solid Objectives Idenburg Liu’s practice.

Der Kunstcampus Amant fügt sich als fein austarierte architektonische Struktur in das industrielle Gefüge Nord-Brooklyns ein. Über drei Häuserblocks hinweg entsteht ein Ensemble aus vier Volumen, das Ateliers, Galerien, Arbeits- und Lagerräume sowie ein Café vereint. Durchgänge, Außenräume und präzise gesetzte Eingänge verweben öffentliche und private Bereiche und öffnen den Campus zur Nachbarschaft. Der bewusste Einsatz von Backstein, Beton und industriellen Materialien erzeugt eine ruhige, zugleich taktile Atmosphäre. Jede Galerie besitzt eine eigene räumliche Identität in Proportion, Lichtführung und technischer Ausstattung und ermöglicht ein breites Spektrum kuratorischer und installativer Formate.

**********

The Amant arts campus integrates into the industrial fabric of North Brooklyn as a finely calibrated architectural structure. Spanning three city blocks, the ensemble comprises four volumes that bring together studios, galleries, work and storage spaces, as well as a café. Passages, outdoor areas, and precisely placed entrances interweave public and private realms, opening the campus to the surrounding neighborhood. The deliberate use of brick, concrete, and industrial materials creates a calm yet tactile atmosphere. Each gallery possesses a distinct spatial identity in terms of proportion, light quality, and technical infrastructure, enabling a wide range of curatorial and installation-based formats.

#ImmigrantStoryoftheWeek
Housing and sustainability are issues that concern most New Yorkers including architect Jing Liu. 🏡

Winner of our 2018 Vilcek Prize for Creative Promise in Architecture, Liu grew up in Nanjing, China, before moving to the U.S. at the age of 13 with her family. Settling in New Orleans, Liu fell in love with architecture, later earning her degree from @tulaneu.

Now, with her Brooklyn-based firm @solidobjectives, she works on projects from around the world, including the Jan Shrem and Maria Manetti Shrem Museum of Art at the University of California, Davis, the venue for New York’s Frieze Art Fair, and a mixed-use district on the banks of the Seine River, commissioned by the City of Paris.

Liu’s practice showcases a distinctive playfulness as well as a serious inquiry into urban housing and sustainability. Her research places a strong emphasis on shared space that is rooted in her Nanjing upbringing.

Liu continues to dream up new visions of space that could transform life here in New York, like a communal, co-living project in Brooklyn. 💭✏️

Necto was designed collaboratively and globally, built locally, reusable, lightweight and biodegradable. The project explores the theme of Intelligens through an immersive, innovative, and both computationally derived yet intuitively driven membrane structure that speculates on the future of temporary structures—lightweight, flexible and efficient, and embedded with latent intelligence
Luminous threads seamlessly integrated within the textile follow selected stress pathways, forming a constellation of light and spatialized sound. Immersive animations dance across the membrane, transforming the structure temporarily into different environments, only to disappear entirely in the next moment again. The generative light and sound animations embrace lightness, exploring the expressive possibilities of a very minimal visual and sonic palette. Each atmosphere playfully speculates on the tensions between craft and algorithm, nature and technology, emergent process and design intent.

From the outside, 450 Warren stands as an unsuspecting building that anchors a Brooklyn corner with its field of grids: a tiled, textured facade with regimented punched openings and recessed balconies. But, from the moment you step inside, you are taken by a reimagined courtyard that sparks anyone’s curiosity through a combination of form, nature and materiality.

Thanks again to Tankhouse for the invitation to capture this project, completed back in 2022 and the first in their ongoing collaborations with SO-IL. Their continued partnership has developed a number of distinct, uniquely bold buildings that are tied together by an underlying drive to explore what it means to live as a community whilst simultaneously challenging residential conventions.

With 450 Warren, in my opinion, there’s a sculptural quality and plasticity to the void through a weaving of materiality and nature. Together, they both delineate and warp the boundaries by which we understand a space and how we move through it. I like to think of it almost as an art of the “in between”, where the push and pull of these delineations creates a layered experience of what a courtyard or a corridor can normally do within a building.

These are just some of the photos I was able to take on a Saturday a couple of weeks ago, which I hope help to illustrate my previous impressions, as I explored the ins and outs of this project.

Mix of digital and film

(PS: Would love to come back at a later date to see how the vegetation continues to blend with the architecture 😉)

I like to think of it almost as an art of the “in between”, where the push and pull of these delineations creates a layered experience of what a courtyard or a corridor can normally do within a building.

These are just some of the photos I was able to take on a Saturday a couple of weeks ago, which I hope help to illustrate my previous impressions, as I explored the ins and outs of this project.

(PS: Would love to come back at a later date to see how the vegetation continues to blend with the architecture 😉)

From the outside, 450 Warren stands as an unsuspecting building that anchors a Brooklyn corner with its field of grids: a tiled, textured facade with regimented punched openings and recessed balconies. But, from the moment you step inside, you are taken by a reimagined courtyard that sparks anyone’s curiosity through a combination of form, nature and materiality.

Thanks again to Tankhouse for the invitation to capture this project, completed back in 2022 and the first in their ongoing collaborations with SO-IL. Their continued partnership has developed a number of distinct, uniquely bold buildings that are tied together by an underlying drive to explore what it means to live as a community whilst simultaneously challenging residential conventions.
