2311 Tiebout Avenue
Slightly Slanted and Strategically Sustainable
Esther Yang will tackle many projects during her Rose Fellowship with Fordham Bedford Housing Corporation (FBHC), but 2311 Tiebout Avenue is likely to be a constant companion. Esther is working with architect Jack Coogan of Oaklander, Coogan, and Vitto (OCV) Architects on this infill housing development in the Bronx. One early milestone was recently reached when they submitted designs for the development to New York City for approval.
The project designs demonstrate how FBHC is continuing to test sustainable strategies within affordable housing development. Plans call for incorporating solar hot water and for seeking LEED certification. The project will be one of many “test” buildings where FBHC and Esther will implement and learn from select sustainable techniques. Their goal is better sustainable decisions for subsequent projects. Stay tuned...
