HOUSING DEVELOPMENT IN SOUTH BOSTON

In this residential architecture development for 18 units of housing our design is a stepped built form. We manipulated the section to terraced green roof-tops to create an inviting space and allow sunlight to penetrate into the rooms in the middle of the site. The massing of this 18 unit housing development also relates to the surrounding buildings. The street façade of the L-shaped building has the form of a double triple decker, a building mass common on this street.  The three 2 story town houses in front reflect the lower 2 story buildings further up the street. The site’s below grade parking garage helps keep cars out of sight and also mitigates the congestion and parking pressure felt by the neighborhood.

Approvals from the neighborhood and the Boston Redevelopment Authority were granted with commendations by the Planning Board. We received approval from the neighborhood and the BRA with a standing ovation.
