Corsair / Place-making through the Arts

CORSAIR New Haven mural / the Beinfield team was invited to sign the letter "n" at the opening celebration

More on Beinfield Architecture's recently opened Corsair in the news - 

"In mid-June, the Corsair, a new luxury residential complex at 1050 State St., welcomed the public to view its largely interior collection of commissioned artworks by predominantly New Haven-area artists, related to the site’s historical contributions and manufacturing glory days.

In recent weeks, the company’s mission of arts support and place-making through the arts took another bold step with the addition of a new exterior mural painted on the north side of the Corsair site facing State Street and within view of an I-91 overpass. The idea of a postcard-like presentation was conceived by developer Andy Montelli working with muralist Josh Griffin, a young artist with a growing visual footprint in New Haven."

Corsair: Art Meets History

Corsair: New Haven’s new upscale 235-unit apartment complex, where "art meets history," is slated to open this fall -
The concept of the Beinfield designed space is an homage to the intersection of contemporary art and historic manufacturing, honoring the bones and artifacts of the pre-existing building which manufactured Corsair propellers among an array of other turn-of-century products. The creative confluence goes well beyond the average apartment complex - with high level attention to detail and innovative reclamation.
