Note: Collaboration with Joy Street Design
This project, another collaboration led by Joy Street Design in East Boston, presented us with the challenge of creating a cohesive building that also speaks to the fabric of the neighborhood – individual triple deckers, often connected at street level with commercial spaces. Here, we reimagine that in a modern language, while also maintaining efficient and thoughtful unit layouts.
This project is under construction; more images coming soon.
