10 Hallets Point
Transforming the Astoria, Queens skyline, this groundbreaking waterfront park rests at the foot of a proposed supermarket and affordable housing development with intent to integrate community facilities, commercial diversity, and affordable housing into the immediate neighborhood. MPFP was brought on board to design the public and open spaces adjacent to Building 1, and exterior terrace spaces on the 4th and 8th floors.
At the ground floor, MPFP introduced ornamental trees, shrubs, and planters to bring color and planting into the streetscape. Dining areas and outdoor rooms dot the 4th floor terrace, providing private and hosting spaces for tenants of this affordable housing development. Stepping stones line the Western rooftop parapet accentuating the natural panoramic views from the building’s vantage point. The 8th floor acts as an extension of the 4th floor lounging spaces, providing more outdoor rooms and seating areas and a specific area for sunbathing.

What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
