- The Scene:
- Carroll Hall is a rare and unexpected event space featuring a botanic garden in Brooklyn. We welcome all types of private events, from weddings, baby showers, bridal showers, and birthday parties to art exhibits, performances, corporate functions, fundraisers and film shoots.
The space encompasses a total of 10,000 square feet, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor areas. For indoor events, we have an open warehouse space, a skylit indoor catering room, and a private mezzanine lounge. Ultimately, the garden is the heart of our space, created as a quiet retreat among plants, birds, insects, and urban wildlife. Tucked in the back of our garden is a discreet wooden "treehouse", perfect for a quiet moment during any event.
We welcome you to visit us for a tour, to attend one of our ticketed events, or to discuss how we can customize our converted warehouse and botanic garden for private events, from weddings, baby showers, bridal showers, and birthday parties to art exhibits, performances, corporate functions, fundraisers and film shoots. - Design:
- We love the city but really need more time in nature. We assume most New Yorkers would agree. Discovery, wonder, and the unexpected are important to us and are strongly represented in the garden and spaces. The plants are an idealized woodland, dressed-up cousins of what might have grown along the edges of fields and farms past. Birds, bees and butterflies are invited back. The buildings “breathe” with automated natural ventilation. Fountains and water features collect and recycle
stormwater for irrigation. A decade of design and construction led to a complex and interwoven series of architectural ideas that coalesced into a rare and unexpected nature retreat in New York City.
Carroll Hall and Dameron Architecture were awarded the 2022 AIA New York Design Award Citation for Reclaiming Urban Space. Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in our very foundation, which uses original bricks and existing ceramic brick walls from the prior warehouse structure, and most of the interior wood is reclaimed. - Standout Venue Features:
- Carroll Hall is at the forefront of several sustainable practices in NYC, including rainwater reuse and technological innovations in natural ventilation. Beneath the inclined end of the 13,000 sq ft site, a sub-ground building houses a 5000 gallon water tank that collects and filters water run-off for garden irrigation.
