Two neighborhood projects secure Board Approval
RODE won approvals for two projects at the Boston Planning Department's November Board hearing.
These two projects exemplify RODE's approach to community-based design, with program, form, and siting that give back to their respective neighborhoods, and expand and enhance the public realm.
279 North Harvard is a partnership with the Allston Brighton CDC and McNamara House that will bring 49 units of affordable elderly housing to the Brighton neighborhood, The project anchors itself around the revitalized Hill Memorial Baptist Church structure, in support of the humane, joyful long term housing of elderly residents.
49 D Street, in the growth corridor along Dot Ave in South Boston, presents a striking, resilient, contemporary design that deftly contends with constrained site conditions. The building form is sculpted to carve space for a pocket park, which connects to a new ground level retail space.
70 units of new housing - including 12 units designated as affordable - will enjoy expansive views of the city, and benefit from Passive House design principles.
