Paul A. Castrucci Architects, PLLC is a collection of design professionals committed to sustainability, equity, and community. We strive to provide design solutions that integrate Passive House building techniques into the community fabric while maintaining a commitment to design excellence.
The firm was founded 30 years ago by architect and community advocate Paul A. Castrucci, R.A. to establish an architecture practice around craftsmanship, functionality, and the preservation of the environment. Paul is a Passive House trained designer and the firm specializes in sustainable residential architecture, community centers, public gardens, affordable housing, and artist’s studios.
The firm’s services are focused on new buildings that are Passive House and Net Zero certified but they also provide rehabilitation of existing structures and energy conservation and code consultation.
The firm has given lectures on Passive House at The Northeast Sustainable Energy Association (NESEA), NY Passive House Conference, and the NYC Department of Design and Construction (DDC). Our Passive House work has been published in the New York Times, Oculus, Dwell, the Architect’s Newspaper, Inhabitat, Green Building Advisor, and many other publications.
