We are thrilled to announce that our Greenwich Passive House Deep Energy Retrofit has won the 2022 AIA CT Sustainable Architecture Award of Merit in the Renovations, Adaptive Re-Use, or Retro-Fit Category.
Our clients asked us to take an existing 1930’s house in Greenwich, CT and transform it into a modern oasis. We turned a leaky, old home into an energy-efficient sustainable one, with a design that let us ‘break open’ the existing structure to reveal spaces that are light- filled and playful.
The Sustainable Architecture awards program recognizes the efforts of licensed Connecticut architects who have developed and demonstrated ways to decrease Green House Gases, reduce energy use and demand, and conserve water use in the built or natural environments. Equally important is the creation of durable, comfortable, and healthy spaces. The award attempts to raise the public awareness of the current climate crisis and the massive role played by construction, maintenance, and operations of the built environment.

The Sustainable Architecture Award also honors the climate change initiatives of AIA Connecticut and Connecticut Passive House to secure a more sustainable and environmentally thriving future.
