After its renovations were completed, 78 Third Place became the first certified Passive House Plus in the USA. Baxt Ingui requested an ERV (energy recovery ventilation system) to reduce indoor air pollution and pests. ![]() Updates were made to the home’s insulation, with period-appropriate replacements of triple-glazed windows, air-tight doors and other detailing provided by Zola Windows.īrooklyn Solarworks designed a 378 square foot solar canopy for the home. Together, these three companies restored the facade, added a third floor and constructed a brand new rear addition. ![]() Passive house design Features of 78 Third Place Baxt Ingui, Zola Windows and Brooklyn Solarworks worked with the Landmarks Preservation Commission to ensure all alterations respected the existing architecture. 78 Third Place was originally built in the early 20th century but was transformed into a near net zero home in 2016. Not only does the NYC firm design passive houses from the ground up, but it also retrofits and renovates existing homes. She identified it as one of several projects “leading the charge toward a greener, more-environmentally friendly future.” According to the firm’s website, Baxt Ingui has been “a leader in design and sustainability for over 40 years” in New York. In a recent article for Dwell, Samantha Daly pointed to New York architecture firm Baxt Ingui Architects and their 78 Third Place residential build.

Once dark and boxy, today’s passive houses are bright, open and inviting. ![]() Architects have jumped on passive house building as they look for ways to reduce the carbon emitted when houses are built or renovated. Designed to work with nature rather than fight against it, passive architecture maximizes energy efficiency and minimizes waste. Passive houses reduce emissions both in their construction and their operation by leveraging natural phenomena such as sunlight, shading and cross ventilation. In a world where there is a global need for more than two billion new homes by the end of the 21st century, we sorely need to integrate new construction innovations. We’ve published more than 700 houses already this year, but the following 50 have been the most popular, connecting with our readers and reaching the widest audience. In the list below, check out the 50 most popular houses of 2017 so far.The heating, cooling and powering alone of residential buildings already account for 10.9% of total emissions and, according to Nobel prize-winning economist Paul Romer, “we’re going to develop more urban area in the next 100 years than currently exists on Earth.”īuildings are already responsible for about 40 percent of the world’s greenhouse-gas emissions - both operational energy and embodied energy, the energy expended during construction, contribute to these emissions. Where the design of public buildings is often massaged by codes and opinions of institutional representatives, designing a house is a chance for an architect to make a personal bond with a client, together envisioning a creative structure that perfectly captures their architectural spirit. Houses are, after all, the most personal building typology – not only for the end user, but for the architect as well. Of all the project categories we publish, residential projects are without a doubt one of the most popular. The halfway point of 2017 has come and gone, and this year is already shaping up to be the biggest and best in ArchDaily history: in six months, we've published more than 2,000 built projects of all different shapes and sizes from locations all over the world.
