- Brooklyn Heights is one of the most desirable and rigorously preserved historic districts in NYC, which means there's a large demand for robust rehabilitations of beautiful aging homes.
When Victor & Cara bought this historic carriage house, they quickly realized a Passive House retrofit would align with their goals of restoring the home to its former glory as well as creating a healthy home that will serve their new family for decades to come.
Join Victor & Cara as well as the project team from Ingui Architecture to discover what this Passive House Institute-certified EnerPHit project looks like with all of the finishes completed.

Of all home tours _(AD, Sotheby's, etc.)_ I've seen on TH-cam, new information here, presenters, decor and overall finished product make this one a favorite.
This house is beautiful! I especially appreciate what a passive home provides. I’ve not heard of a passive home before so thank you for your detailed explanations about the home.
This is an incredible design. My favorite part is beautiful staircase.
Don't let the video fool you. This house is worth millions. Even 20 years ago. I used to park by it when I used to go to school in the area. You have to in top 1% of the income minimum to play with passive game.
The affordable housing sector has been one of the greatest trailblazers for passive house implementation!
Reimagine Buildings has tons of that and regular middle class homes on their channel, check them out!
Agreed that Brooklyn real estate is expensive and that major renovations are, too. But adding passive to a retrofit or new project is only incrementally more expensive than doing one to code minimum, often just a couple of percentage points more in cost. Lots of examples of passive projects out there for middle income and low income.
Great design!, loved the planter camouflaging the ducts, awesome idea!
This was a great tour and presentation. Highlights so many of the 'hidden' aspects of passivhaus that many people don't even consider or realise.
And definitely appreciate seeing some clients who are so enthusiastic about passivhaus principles.
Thanks @RottenlyMoodyChild - The clients were great on this one as was the whole team. We enjoyed it quite a bit.
Beautiful, they did a great job. I can’t imagine how much it must have cost.
Beautiful home. We see a lot of Passive House new construction in rural areas which makes this project even cooler. Well done. And the Zola windows... 😍
Thanks @DeuceDueceBravo - :) - and Zola was a pleasure to work with. I would recommend them highly.
Spectacular! Well done.
Stunning home. Congratulations to the design crew for their amazing genius!
Thank you :)
Woo beautiful home I love love Thank you very much Victor & Cara to share your beautiful home😂
Wow! This a a work of art! It’s personal taste of course but to me it’s beautiful and I love all the design choices.
Beautiful project, and inspiring video, well done!
Thank you @grahamirwin1949 - This was a fun one with a great team.
Stunnning on so many levels….Congrats…
Thank you :)
Simply Beautifully Gorgeous 🥰♥️🥰
really wish they’d gone with a full induction stove top…gas stoves are so 20th century
Beautiful place. My favorite part is the stairs!
Amazing!
Thanks @meganmcdermott7538
Beautiful home.
Thank you - it was a fun one.
I understand the value of the result but it is not everybody who can afford such improvements. Doing a house like this is an unattainable dream for most. But I guess we can still try to make some adjustments to our lifestyles to burn less fossil fuel. To me, tiny homes are one solution.
I subscribe, this channel is interesting.
What mics are they wearing? The quality is excellent
FABULOUS!!!!
How nice it would be if any and or all of the health conscience and energy efficient ideas were poured into affordable housing.
Absolutely right -- interestingly, it's actually the affordable housing community that has been on the forefront of the Passive House wave. Here are a few examples:

Great job.... What do you mean by Passive House?
Thanks! Here’s a quick explainer about Passive House: th-cam.com/video/xlrgE7PEtv0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Qi7PZgZlpxQWoxHm
So is it an actual garage? No video? That’s huge for NYC
Yes real garage!
What's hilarious is I have plumbing fixtures on outside walls in my little 1940s multi-wythe brick home. Cannot wait to open up the walls to see how that was successfully achieved. 😅
How long did it take to complete?
Im in Patk Slope.. Wow, what street is this on?
how much are the heating and cooling bills?
That steep staircase is scary!
I’d love to know the cost breakdown of all this.
Love passive homes. But the 5% over base costs is bs. This is all top flight, top of line building and materials.
@@davedutile6317 -It was already going to be a high end renovation. Many people do high end renovations and the question that is asked is - what is the premium to build a high end renovation as a passive house. You are already buying high end materials so many costs are a wash - some things cost more - thus the 5%. The thing that really costs more is the one benefit most do not want to do without - it is the air selaing of your exterior and neighbors walls. This is what really significantly reduces the bugs, dust, and other items you would choose to live without if you could.
The rooftop needs a total make-over. I see beautiful beige/light green shades for privacy with nice wood fencing and a bbq pit for starters
cost for a place like this?
What’s the price of this house?
This is in the DUMBO area. The Brooklyn Bridge is around there.
Close - it's Brooklyn Heights
How much were spent on renovations?
A whole lot of money for sure. At least 600k or more. Typically 100k for each floor level for a standard renovation
this level of house in Brooklyn is probably like $10,000,000 or close to it and they don't mention that in the video at all lol very curious what these owners do for a living
@@johnjohn40100 600k would be a dream, I'd guess the reno cost 3-4mm. They basically did a full gut including exterior and foundational work. Finishes are extremely high end and done well. Even added a roof bulkhead...probably took at least 2 years to do. Agree with the commenter above this home is around 8-10mm.
@@AndrewMak i probably understated that amount, but I wouldn't doubt that estimate. It is high end and custom after all
Not my lifestyle ( I'd rather have acreage) but great presentation by a crew that knows what they're doing.
Hmm, as a Brooklynite, I always wondered who owned and lived in those landmark homes
The Curse-core
What goes out must come in … huh
So this whole house has only 1 bedroom and 1 small nursery room?
The house may appear to be smaller in the video - it has 3 bedrooms and feels quite spacious on the interior.
Stunning!! And cost?
@@shelleystrong8673Think in terms of millions. A carriage house in one of the most beautiful, exclusive neighborhoods in all of NYC, never mind just Brooklyn. Sounds like the home was in badly-needed Reno condition, which might have helped a bit with cost, but still no less than four million just for the property, alone. To turn this into a passive house? Dig up the bedrock to add a full cellar? All the eco-friendly touches? During Covid, where everything was even more expensive and difficult to acquire? I’d guess that’s another one to two million dollars. It’s also distinctly possible I have no idea what the f I’m talking about…
@@scottreiburnNYC This is probably like a $4m renovation, maybe more - one minor detail in the credits at the end is that the GC was Taffera, maybe the most expensive builder in the area. Clearly these owners had no real budget. i.e., money was no object
thats a 5million dollar house!
If that was a stable back in the day, no matter what you do- you can still smell the manure.
just like all farmhouses
