Passive House Accelerator’s new Reimagine Buildings video tour goes on site with the team from THE BANK LOFTS—a NYSERDA-award-winning, Phius Design Certifed mixed-use retrofit project in a Central New York village ready to be rediscovered by a new generation. Meet owners Faith E. Gay and Francesca Zambello, architect Juhee Lee-Hartford of River Architects, builder Josh Edmonds of Simple Integrity, and project manager Karl Hansen of River Architects behind the scenes in the historic small town of Richfield Springs.

A first look inside THE BANK LOFTS, an award-winning, mixed-use multifamily building in a historic Otsego County village near Cooperstown, New York, that’s ready to be rediscovered by a new generation. Just 90 mins from Albany and Syracuse and surrounded by natural beauty.

River Architects’ award-winning design includes an on-site resident parking lot. A solar array atop the carport canopies will help power the building’s energy-efficient systems and 4 EV-charging stations.

What can an old map tell us about what the former First National Bank of Richfield Springs, New York, was like when it was new in 1884? A lot, it turns out.
