How can an urban infill project assimilate into the historic Boston context while simultaneously differentiating itself as a unique living experience?

North End Infill Apartments
Located in the historic Downtown of Boston, this 4 unit multifamily infill building establishes itself as the missing link in the surrounding urban fabric. The contemporary insertion mimics it’s neighbors in height, window alignments, and color tone.
A weathering steel skin differentiates the building and imbues it with a contemporary flare all the while maintaining the rich warm red coloring of its surroundings. The thickened façade responds to the program behind it: the retail ground floor offers ample glazing, while the next floor above offers privacy for residents with tall and narrow windows. With each successive level from the street, wider windows are provided. A mechanical parking system, accessed from the rear alley, provides each unit with one parking space, a highly sought-after commodity in the city.
