211 Warren Street

211 Warren Street holds a prominent position in the Downtown Historic District of Hudson, New York. This project emerged as a response to the loss of a historic home during foundation work due to severe weather. The building demonstrates a determination to rebuild and reimagine the space in a modern and sustainable way. Through minor revisions and careful consideration of the district's heritage, the design received approval from the Historic Preservation Commission, marking a significant milestone for this unique project.

Breaking away from the traditional approach of replicating historic architecture, 211 Warren Street embraces a contemporary interpretation that seamlessly blends with the street's character. As the first new building on Warren Street in decades, it symbolizes progress and revitalization in the heart of the district.

A core focus of the design was to meet the stringent requirements set forth by the Passive House Institute US (PHIUS). The house has already received approval for certification from PHIUS, a testament to its exceptional performance in reducing energy consumption and environmental impact.

211 Warren Street thoughtfully incorporates a small storefront on the ground floor, paying homage to the original building while contributing to the lively commercial atmosphere of the street.

211 Warren Street proudly holds the PHIUS+ 2018 & Source Zero Pre-Certification. PHIUS, known for promoting the most rigorous building energy standard globally, emphasizes the importance of sustainable practices. Certified Passive House Consultants, honored by PHIUS, have played an instrumental role in ensuring that 211 Warren Street achieves passive house energy performance and adheres to the highest quality criteria.

Beyond its architectural significance, 211 Warren Street embodies creativity, adaptability, and environmental consciousness. This project sets an example for others, showcasing how contemporary design and sustainability can coexist harmoniously within the historical context, enhancing the Downtown Historic District and elevating the standard for future projects in the area.
