A Smarter Home, For A Simpler Life - Feathers And All

For a client with personal and professional interest in New York City’s sustainable future, our shared vision for this project was to transform a Brooklyn townhouse into a high performance, energy-efficient home that reflects environmental values while providing a space for a family of three.

A Energy-Efficient Home For Today

The Residence is a modern overhaul and vertical expansion of a 1901 Brooklyn wood-frame home.
Designed for flexible work and low-impact living, the energy-efficient home meets strict zoning and environmental standards while adapting to evolving needs.
