Virginia House is a 7-story gut rehabilitation project with horizontal and vertical expansion of an existing building funded by New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development, Senior Affordable Rental Apartments (SARA) Program. This property, which stood vacant for many years, has a restrictive covenant for senior residents.
Virginia House follows Passive House design by incorporating elements such as: exterior and interior insulation, triple glazed windows, and ERV units. Furthermore, we utilized interventions presented in the Active Design Guidelines.
