Over-the-Rhine Net Zero Infill

A path toward Net Zero Energy for Cincinnati's iconic historic district, by Sol Design + Consulting.

Sol Design + Consulting’s winning entry to the Over-the-Rhine Infill Design Competition sought to chart a pathway toward Net Zero Energy for Cincinnati’s iconic historic district. The mixed-use design features a terra cotta brise soleil on the building’s primary West-facing facade — both a nod to the depth, texture, and rich shadows of historic facades, and a key element of the building’s approach to energy efficiency.
