BETSY YOST - AIA, PRINCIPAL
Betsy Yost brings more than 30 years of
experience to her role as Principal at Pyatok Architects, with a special interest
in historic rehabilitation, senior housing and sustainable design. Under her
leadership as director of Pyatok's Sustainable Practice
Committee and a Certified
GreenPoint Rater, the firm is developing sustainability measures and metrics
uniquely suited to affordable high-density residential development.
Betsy served as Principal-in-Charge on The Altenheim
Senior Housing, an award-winning historic rehabilitation project in Oakland,
which was recognized by the California Preservation Foundation in 2007. This
project also allowed her to study how to maximize the design of very small senior
housing units. A recent presentation at the Housing California conference
reviewed how the advent of sustainable building products and techniques has
changed the design of affordable housing.
