HR CRAWFORD GARDENS

Located in the Deanwood neighborhood in Northeast DC, H.R. Crawford Gardens brings high quality affordable housing to DC. With modern design on the exterior and interior, the six story building includes 76 units, a fitness room and community room on the ground floor, and a community room that opens out to a patio on the top floor. Thirty percent of the units are 3 bedroom units, providing affordable units sized to accommodate families.

We are excited to say this project has been designed to be Passive House Certification Standards. These standards are set by the Passive House Institute US (Phius), Phius is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization committed to decarbonizing the built environment by making high-performance passive building the mainstream market standard. Building to Passive House standards is a serious technical challenge that incorporates strategies early on in the design development of the project. Some of the sustainable features you’ll see in the building are a tight building envelope, solar panels, green roof, facade louvers to mitigate sunlight, along with other sustainable strategies.

H.R. Crawford Gardens has been designed to accommodate the housing needs of DC, as well as meeting new high standards for a more sustainable future.
