- THE NORMA on FULTON STREET
NYC Department of Housing Preservation & Development has announced the selection of the Norma, an 11-story, 100% affordable home ownership project designed by Leong Leong with Almat Urban and Bedford Stuyvesant Restoration Corporation. The Norma (named in honor of Norma Merrick Sklarek, the first African American woman to pass her license exam to officially become an architect in both New York and California) will give rise to 44 homeownership opportunities through a mix of 1- to 3-bedroom condo-style coops for low- to moderate-income households with a broad range of affordability. Under the plans, the Brownsville Multi Service Wellness and Health Center will operate a new urgent care facility on the ground floor, providing services for adult medicine, pediatrics, physical therapy, OB/GYN, mental health and dentistry among others. A community terrace on the second floor will create space for community building, resident organizing and activities. Additionally, the building is designed to comply with Passive House energy efficiency and sustainability standards with a fully electric mechanical heating and cooling systems. Green Roof, Stormwater Retention, and Mechanical Systems In order to reduce load on the CSO, gardens and green spaces adjacent to the Northern facade can use storm-water in a retention and irrigation effort. A 1,067 sf green roof above the eleventh floor penthouse will absorb heavy rains and provide an extra layer of insulation, which will increase the energy efficiency and lower carbon footprints. The pavement in the rear yard of the site will be permeable so that aquifers can be recharged. Proposed planters on the second floor and eleventh floor amenity spaces with small trees and foliage will provide shade and a nice visual touch, as well as storm-water retention in its own right. The team proposes the use of a high-performance, high-efficiency HVAC system. Initial research centers on the feasibility of a variable refrigerant flow unit (VRF) mini-split with a heat recovery ventilator (HRV) unit, to provide (at least part of) the mechanical heating and cooling for the building.

- 37 HILLSIDE AVE, NEW YORK, NY
A 2-phase senior supportive housing project in Inwood neighborhood of Manhattan developed by RiseBoro and Coconut Properties. Phase I is a 112,000 SF 9-storey building comprising of 156 studio and 1-bedroom apartments, as well as community engagement spaces. In addition, the ground floor will be a new 9,000 SF home to Rocky Mountain Baptist Church. Founded in 1973, RiseBoro Community Partnership is a non-profit organization based in Bushwick, Brooklyn that offers housing and family services. RiseBoro has been responsible for the development of over 3,000 units of affordable housing, ranging from single-family homes to scattered site rehabs to large mixed use developments. Through various home ownership programs, RiseBoro has been responsible for the sponsorship and marketing of over 1,200 units to first-time home buyers. Currently, RiseBoro manages over 1,800 affordable units that provide permanent housing for low to moderate-income families, senior citizens, and a host of special needs populations including formerly homeless families, veterans, physically disabled, and victims of domestic violence. 37 Hillside Avenue is being designed to meet US Passive House Institute standards for energy efficiency. Passive House standard emphasizes air-tight, continuously insulated building envelope without thermal bridges, high performance windows and balanced heat and moisture recovery ventilation. Passive House buildings are expected to consume 75-90% less energy than traditional buildings. The building is cooled and heated with a variable-refrigerant flow heat recovery system. Packaged rooftop energy recovery ventilators supply filtered and conditioned fresh air directly into each apartment and exhaust from kitchens and bathrooms in a continuous ventilation cycle. Hot water for domestic use is generated by high efficiency gas-fired water heaters. Home / Multifamily 37 HILLSIDE AVE, NEW YORK, NY ARCHITECT . Architecture In Formation & SLCE PROJECT SIZE .
