This document discusses two sustainable housing projects: Jubilee Wharf in Penryn, Britain and Via Verde in the Bronx, New York. Jubilee Wharf was designed by ZEDfactory and features solar panels, a wood pellet boiler, and other sustainability features. Via Verde in the Bronx is a mixed-income housing project designed by Grimshaw Architects and Dattner Architects on a brownfield site. It includes green roofs, earns LEED Gold certification, and was supported by NYSERDA. Both projects aim to achieve environmental, social, and economic sustainability through their mixed-use and mixed-income designs.

26. “We wanted to have the greenness grow out of the architecture. We oriented the complex so that the height of the buildings
steps up from south to north, bathing the entire site in sunlight. That stepped form became the origin for the series of green
roofs that also recapture the landscape lost by constructing the buildings."

50. Both projects reflects a commitment to a new kind of sustainability -not just the
environmental sustainability of green roofs and compact fluorescents but also the
social and economic sustainability that can only result from housing with a mix of
incomes and uses.
