Riverhouse

Here at New York EcoSpaces, we've written a lot about topics like air quality and how the right air purifier can help alleviate asthma and allergies; low-VOC paints and finishes and how their use can dramatically increase the air quality of your home; and green roofs and how they help clean the air, save water, and provide an aesthetic link with nature.

We're glad to see that some forward-thinking residential developments in New York City are incorporating ideas such as these into their design. A good example of such a development is Riverhouse, a LEED-certified condominium tower in Battery Park City featuring a plethora of green features for a healthy planet and a healthy you, including:

• twice-filtered air with seasonally adjusted humidity levels,
• on-site water filtration,
• locally-sourced, renewable materials,
• low- or no-VOC paints, adhesives, and sealants,
  
• photovoltaic cells,
• green roofs that capture and recycle rainwater.

So if you're looking for someplace green to put down roots, feel free to contact me for more information.
