The Alloy Block houses two public schools: a new elementary school PS456, The Elizabeth Jennings School for Bold Explorers and a new home for the Khalil Gibran International Academy.

The building is the first Passive Plus House built in the United States–included a rehabilitation of a townhouse built in the early 1900’s. The work respected the original historical architecture of the main building and restoration of the front façade, while adding a new third floor with a mansard.

Chestnut Commons provides affordable housing for formerly homeless and low-income households. 275 affordable housing apartments are supported by an integrated programming package, including communal spaces. The project integrates a satellite Community College campus, a food manufacturing incubator that provides job training, and a credit union.

 Condominium project at 951 Pacific Street between Grand and Washington Avenues. The R-951 Residence consists of three duplex loft apartments, each approximately 1500 square feet complete with its own balcony and/or garden, laundry and separate cellar storage space.

The base of the building utilizes brick, tying it into the surrounding neighborhood. The top floors of the building break from the contextual base in form and material. The corrugated metal saw tooth roofline is a response to the environment, bringing in soft, northern light while providing roof area for a Photovoltaic array of solar panels. The top floor is connected to a roof garden filled with native plants. The result is a light-filled, dynamic space that is shaped by its relationship to daylight and connections to the exterior.

Sendero Verde will create over 700 units of affordable housing. Ranging from to moderate income, as well as the formerly homeless. Sendero Verde, with expansive community facility space, will create a home for senior and youth programs, educational facilities, local nonprofits, arts and culture.

Come see the real story of what drove the environmental design for this mid-block, reconstructed row house that caused a fair level of controversy. The original structure, designed in the late 19th century, suffered from an unfortunate 1970’s “re-do” resulting in a prison-like façade that was structurally unstable. Add to that the newly enforced floodplain regulations (the house had to be raised), high water table and moisture conditions and jointly owned party-wall contention. If that was not enough, the owners, taking into account that NYC buildings are responsible for 75% of total greenhouse gas emissions, desired to maximize energy conservation – thus following passive house standards. The measures (high R- value insulation, air barrier, high performance windows and doors and heat recovery) combined with urban agriculture features, storm water retention and solar hot water truly make this two-family house in NYC unique.
