Resilient Corners is a project consisting of eight single family workforce homes whose heating system is intended to be augmented by a neighborhood distributed geothermal system, the first of its kind in New York State. The project also includes a community center and laundromat for use by the local community. See the Resilient Corners project booklet describing the project’s evolution and success.
This project took a community effort to realize, being nothing short of a great experience during the process. For each phase of the project, our team set up community gathering presentations whereby the process and design we developed was shared with the community at large. Two of the houses are built, and the remaining are awaiting funding. The houses do stand out in the neighborhood as exemplary housing prototypes of what can be accomplished when private and public entities join forces to provide community shared ideas.
