Designs for Red Hook Green, New York City�s first sustainable, zero-energy, live/work building is scheduled to break ground in February 2010.
Red Hook Green is the brain-child of New York technology and media entrepreneur, Jay Amato and is expected to become one of the most distinctive architectural additions to the up-and-coming Red Hook section of Brooklyn. The 4,000-sq-ft Red Hook Green will be able to meet all of its energy needs from low-cost, locally available, non-polluting, renewable sources such as solar or wind power while responding to a complex program that incorporates a studio/workshop, offices for a digital business, garages and an apartment, as well as outdoor green space.
