71 Garfield Building Redevelopment
Detroit, MI, 2006-2010

To prove our commitment to sustainable development, allow us to introduce our office location, 71 Garfield. To minimize environmental impact, the recent renovation of 71 Garfield used a combination of adaptive reuse, salvaged architectural materials, and recycled much of the project construction waste.

In addition, 71 Garfield was designed to achieve day-to day energy reduction below 50% of current ASHRAE standards. This was accomplished through the installation of the following energy systems:

» A white reflective roof (see above)
» Solar power to provide a minimum of 20% of the building’s electric draw (see above)
» Geothermal heating and cooling
» Integration of natural light, LED lighting, and lighting sensors in public spaces
» Energy Star appliances and energy efficient insulation, and windows
» A rooftop water collection system utilizing a 3,000 gallon cistern

Completed and open to tenants and residents in 2010, the project received “A Champion for Green Living 2011” award from the WARM Training Center.

A mixed-income, mixed-use building, 71 Garfield is geared towards arts-related activities and businesses. SocraTea Tea House and Gallery and Sugar Hill Clay anchor the building's garden level retail spaces. Both businesses proudly feature reclaimed materials in their design.
