This is a 17 unit 30,000sf high-end rental apartment building in the West Village. Retaining the building in perpetuity is a goal for ownership, which chose to design this building pursuing the Passive House certification. This is the first, and one of two, projects in the office that pursue Passive House. The design team used this project to illustrate that the design aesthetic of MA has not been compromised by making the building be high-performing.
The facade of the building is designed with brick in both running bond as well as herringbone framed between brick piers.
