By now it’s not news that the Passive House trend is alive and kicking in Kings County. Here’s another for the list, though: 258 11th Street, between 4th and 5th Avenue—which sold this May to its new owners—is now being completely renovated to Passive House standards. The architect involved, Jeremy Shannon of Prospect Architecture, says the home required a full gut, making it a “good opportunity” for a Passive House retrofit. The house will boast many of the same features as this one in Brooklyn Heights, including triple paneled windows. There is also a one-story addition planned. The project is currently three months in and and is expected to wrap in December or January. GMAP

  1. That makes at least 20 Passive Houses either completed, under construction, or in final planning to start construction soon that I know of just in Brooklyn. I think we have a mini-epicenter!
