Architectural Renderings House-Fascinating Habana Outpost as Eco Restaurant in Brooklyn


Open from Earth Day to Halloween every year, the Habana Outpost in Fort Greene, Brooklyn has evolved over time to include many green design strategies, and it’s working to help the surrounding community as well. The Habana Outpost, which started in 2005, features a $40,000 solar installation on its outdoor patio.
The array is grid-connected and feeds in power to surrounding buildings when the Outpost’s power demands are low. Over the years, customers have put in their two cents about other projects the eco-eatery could work on to make it more sustainable.
The restaurant has set up a bike-powered blender, a rainwater collection system, composting and recycling stations, efficient lighting, compostable plates and silverware, a garden, and wheatboard panels inside the restaurant.


They also have a fascinating solar chandelier that uses sunlight focusing panels mounted outside the store to suck in light through fiber optic cables.
The owner of the restaurant is Sean Meenan said that the restaurant also works to help kids and organizations around the community through donations and activities that take place on site. Meenan regularly gives tours of the restaurant to groups, and a Kid’s Corner offers regular projects and programs to educate kids on the environment.
Habana Outpost also supports the Urban Studio Brooklyn program, which offers design/build experience for NYC architecture students.
