STREAM Collaborative is putting its words into action with Perdita Flats, a new ‘net-zero’ 4-unit residential building. The three-story structure completely eliminates any operational reliance on fossil fuels and is a precedent-setting building for reduced energy consumption in Ithaca.

STREAM provided conceptual design studies for the re-development of Ithaca’s waterfront. The team explored a number of sketch site plans as well as building facade and massing studies to help the developer prepare applications for grant funding with the objective of winning support from key stakeholders. The work also included preliminary sketch site plans, a subdivision plan and several municipal meetings to kick start the development.
