P.S. 197 Comfort Station

Located in the Rockaways in Queens, New York, the PS 197 Comfort Station was designed as a part of a Design Excellence initiative to be a new prototype for a series of park facilities throughout New York City Parks. While prosaic in function, the building seeks to take standard architectural elements and, through simple customizations, transform them into something unique. The building is open to the public year-round and serves as a support space to the park and playground, also shared with Public School 197.
