7 & 9 Swift Terrace — East Boston
As sister buildings, 7 and 9 Swift Terrace explore the idea that economy and innovation don’t stand in opposition—they inform one another. Conceived as efficient urban residences, the pair uses a refined, modified board-and-batten exterior to introduce subtle depth and continuity across both structures. Their shared geometry and clean vertical rhythm create a unified streetscape presence, while small shifts in proportion and light give each building its own character. Together, they reflect Zephyr Architects’ ongoing commitment to thoughtful, inventive simplicity in attainable housing.
