Family room with private deck behind (Hello Living)
At long last, Hello Townhaus has hit the market. It’s been almost three years since we learned about the development, and now after several redesigns and a subtle name change, the eight 3-story townhouses are now a reality. The Prospect Heights project was developed by Eli Karp’s Hello Living, best known for their branded condo buildings scattered throughout northern Brooklyn. Hello Living picked up the site at 22-36 Underhill Avenue in early 2013 for $2.1 million and commissioned Brooklyn-based firm Loadingdock5, Jun Aizaki of Crème Architecture + Design and Design Kollektivor for the design.
Like many of Hello Living’s previous Bauhaus-inspired designs, these townhouses sport a clean minimalist feel inside and out. Each of the homes will have a private terrace with an adjoining kitchenette and underground parking spaces.

Like many of Hello Living’s previous Bauhaus-inspired designs, the townhouses sport a clean minimalist feel inside and out. They are supposedly a modern reinterpretation of the classic pre-war townhome, though in our opinion their undercooked stucco exteriors painted in muted colors are a bit underwhelming.
Each home is a 3-bedroom smart home spanning 2,700 square feet of interior space and offering a choice of light and dark finish palettes. Each has 4 bathrooms, a great room, den, laundry room, finished cellar, sprawling private terrace with adjoining kitchenette, a finished roof deck, and a private underground parking space.

While it appears the project will no longer seek Passive House certification, they are built with state-of-the-art components for superior energy performance. Energy-efficient features include a PassivHaus-certified Zehnder ventilation unit, highly-insulated roof and façade systems and weather-sealed Yaro Energy windows.
