PHIPPS HOUSES
As the executive Architects working along side FXCollaborative, C+GA provided four new buildings in the neighborhood of Forest Hills, Queens. The buildings, averaging about 20 stories, provide the neighborhood with much needed affordable and market rate housing. Each building is designed to meet PassivHaus standards, and features vast PV panel arrays for energy generation. My Involvement with the project began towards the end of the Construction Document phase. I continue to work on Construction Administration, providing the GC with direction on any design issues, as well as perform regular site visits.
