Brooklyn Townhouse Reimagined as Energy-Efficient Family Home
A Greenpoint townhouse was gut-renovated into a 4,000-square-foot, four-bedroom, single-family home with a third floor, double-height kitchen, skylights and expansive outdoor spaces. The project adopts Passive House principles—airtight envelope, triple-pane windows, and heat pumps—and rooftop solar that covers about 80% of the home’s energy. Large windows, cedar louvers, and roof decks maximize light and outdoor living, while Brook Landscape created a lush backyard garden. Completed in June 2024 after starting in 2022, the renovation cost about $700 per square foot.
