A Queens Home Gets a Green Makeover

CO Adaptive, a design studio in Brooklyn, has transformed a terraced house in Queens, New York, into an energy-efficient home meeting Passive House standards.

This 1,152-square-foot home, built in 1945, went through a thoughtful deconstruction process during its renovation.

The project focused on using recycled and reused materials, creating a home that is both sustainable and energy-efficient.

CO Adaptive believes that transforming older buildings to Passive House standards is a key step towards building more sustainable cities.
