702 Hancock, a 4-story market-rate residential building, offers 8 spacious market-rate apartment units to Brooklyn’s Stuvyesant Heights neighborhood. Once a horse stable, then a car repair shop, the land was acquired by Paul A. Castrucci Architects and became our company’s design and material laboratory.
Our mission: construct a Passive House following the methodology closely. We handled the energy modeling internally and equipped the building with a large solar array and ERV system, utilizing passive solar and ventilation techniques to achieve an estimated net-zero energy status.
Designed during Covid-19, the building prioritizes healthy living. Each apartment enjoys large windows with both north and south exposure and its own private outdoor space, be it a balcony, garden, or rooftop.
