Inspired by the best traditions of late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century mercantile buildings that were widespread throughout the northeast. Morgan Parc is a U-shaped building opening up the site to Second Street. The building center is a courtyard and event space in the heart of Mineola. The building is composed of a central tower at the far side of the square, flanked by two symmetrical wings, gradually stepping down from Front Street to the more pedestrian Second Street.
The masonry facades draw upon turn-of-the-century mill buildings whose architecture is expressed in their strong deep structural piers and intricate brick detailing. The building façade is composed of deep articulated masonry piers that extend the full height of the building, opening up at the ground floor to create a retail arcade that wraps the courtyard. Large industrial size window units span between the deep piers, flooding the apartments with natural light.
