Description

The Meeting House brings 36 residential units of affordable and workforce housing to Dorchester. The five story, mixed use development has retail and parking located on the ground level, with an enhanced public streetscape, street trees and a covered front porch for access.

The building design is responsive to the surrounding site forces, and the movement of pedestrian and vehicles along Pleasant St and the curve of Hancock St. The angles of the facade change subtly in response to the intersecting roadways, and the facade pattern unfolds as it flows along the face of the building, transitioning from lighter to darker rainscreen panels.
