Construction has topped out on Houston House, an environmentally friendly, eight-story condominium at 298 East 2nd Street. It will comprise six full-floor units and one duplex townhouse, and a rendering shows that all units will have private balconies. While the East Village has been quite active in construction lately, this building by leading Passive House design firm Zakrzewski + Hyde Architects is the only one to be built from cross-laminated timber (CLT).

While Houston House won’t go for Passive House certification, it will still have several green features. CLT requires little energy to produce and will provide extra insulation in the building. Oversized, triple-glazed windows will help cut down on electricity and control heat loss/gain. Houston House’s commitment to the environment even extends to its amenities: The building will have a bike room.
