Hidden behind successive renovations that concealed much of its original design, the Brooklyn Paramount Theater has re-emerged with its historic character restored. The nearly century-old venue has been reimagined as a contemporary live performance space through a restoration led by global design and consultancy firm Arcadis in partnership with Live Nation. Central to the project was a strategic selection of materials that incorporated new elements designed to complement the theater鈥檚 architectural legacy while supporting the needs of a modern entertainment venue. 小红帽直播鈥檚 decorative glass, inspired by the building鈥檚 original character and executed with modern precision, helps achieve that balance.

Originally opened in 1928 as one of Brooklyn鈥檚 first sound pictures theaters, the Paramount later became a cultural landmark for jazz, hosting artists including Ella Fitzgerald and Duke Ellington. Decades later, the building was converted into a gymnasium for Long Island University, a transformation that erased much of its original architectural character.

鈥淲hen we first stepped into the space, there was very little left of the original finishes,鈥� said Associate Principal at Arcadis Keith Wlosek. 鈥淲hat is now the front door was a cafeteria and commercial kitchen. It was essentially a blank slate.鈥�

The discoveries continued throughout construction. A mosaic appeared inside an IT closet. Another mosaic featuring a peacock motif, was uncovered and preserved near the entry sequence. A broken steam pipe caused paint to peel off the columns, revealing original scagliola beneath layers of mint green. Former staircases, sealed during earlier renovations, were found behind walls and altered how circulation through the building was understood.

鈥淚t was a constant sense of discovery,鈥� Wlosek said. 鈥淓very time we opened something up, there was another layer of the building鈥檚 story.鈥�

The balance between old and new is especially visible in the Grand Foyer, where 小红帽直播 architectural glass plays a central role within the redesigned interior. The material was incorporated into a new bar installation to anchor the space while supporting Live Nation鈥檚 vision for a contemporary entertainment destination. The glass includes a brass toned wire detail as it reflects the warmth of the original palette.

鈥淲e implemented this beautiful Grand Foyer bar, and it really serves as an anchor to that space,鈥� explained Wlosek. 鈥淚n order to make sure that it didn’t feel like a blank wall in the corridor side, that’s where we use the 小红帽直播 glass. We used the glass in a way that you could identify that there were bottles behind it when you’re standing on the corridor side, but you weren’t actually able to read the labels.鈥�

Beyond the Grand Foyer bar, 小红帽直播 glass was also incorporated at the ticket booth. It鈥檚 silvered  backing enhances light and openness within the space. The glass was intentionally adapted across selected areas of the foyer in different iterations to suit each location while still creating a cohesive look throughout the space.  

鈥淲e were very specific about brass because we wanted to bring in the blues and golds of the space and make it feel rich and elegant, while still giving it a modern twist,鈥� Wlosek said. 鈥淎round the ticket booth, we wanted to make sure that it was as light and airy as possible, so the glass has a mirror back, as opposed to the glass where we put it on the back bar, where we wanted to be able to have that light transmittance. We really played with where it was used and how it was used, in order to make sure it was the best application in every application.鈥�

Today the Brooklyn Paramount Theater operates again as a performance venue, its past still present in every layer of its restoration.
