Chestnut Commons in Look at That Building article

Chestnut Commons featured in Bloomberg’s Look at That Building

Chestnut Commons was recently featured in Bloomberg CityLab’s Look at That Building — a weekly series about everyday and not-so-everyday architecture.

Located in the East New York neighborhood of Brooklyn, this new mixed-use residential project is a model for healthy and sustainable urban living. Community-centric in both design and development, Chestnut Commons provides affordable housing for formerly homeless and low-income households and integrates a satellite Community College campus, a food manufacturing incubator offering job training, and a credit union.

Principal John Woelfling gave Bloomberg writer Lizzie Kane a tour of the Passive House project, discussing how the design team sought to challenge the traditional model for affordable housing in New York City.
