Residential Affordable Housing: Boston

Working with the architect and Urban Edge, a former tow lot and car wash at Jackson Square in Roxbury was transformed into sixty-four units of affordable rental housing in three buildings. Extensive work was done with Boston's Redevelopment Authority and the Department of Neighborhood Development, in addition to coordinating the Public Improvements Commission process involving Boston Water and Sewer, Transportation, and Public Works. A major emphasis was placed on the creation and maximization of pedestrian and family-friendly outdoor spaces for residents. A hardscape plaza with benches and tables was designed for neighborhood meetings and gatherings, and a new tot-lot was added for both resident children and the children of the surrounding neighborhood.


Some projects described were performed by the principals while with former employers, or as independent consultants
