Overview

Concept

The IceHouse is a new construction "green" condo project located in Philadelphia's Fishtown neighborhood. The project was named after Dooley's Icehouse, which stood for at least a century in Fishtown. Many of the materials from Dooley's Icehouse will be put to use in the new project.

IceHouse will offer 48 condos which are being built to meet LEED-H standards. Some of the green features include:

2,500 gallon rainwater recycling system
Large common green roof
Extensive use of sustainable materials
Solar panels providing electricity to common areas
Hybrid car hookups

The building is not only environmentally friendly, but extremely attractive as well. The structure consists of primarily a brick, steel, and hardwood exterior. Several of the units have balconies which overlook the street, which will likely be adorned with shrubbery. However, the buildings true beauty lies within, as in the center of the structure there is a large green roof, which residents can share. The green roof consists of a walking paths, green landscaped areas, and a large koi pond. It will surely become a popular gathering space for residents.
