This Passive House retrofit in Park Slope, Brooklyn, certified under the EnerPHit retrofit standards, was designed to maintain the home's existing
turn of the century brownstone façade and its existing footprint.
The block association decided its
brownstones would look better if it replaced the ordinary»50s - era lampposts with snazzier bishop's crook lampposts, whose designs date back to the
turn of the 20th
century.
