Highland/Marcella E+ Housing Announcement
[ssba]In the spring of 2018, Zephyr Architects responded to a request for proposals from the City of Boston Department of Neighborhood Development. The brief required deeply affordable housing to be designed for the city’s E+ Green Building Program using enviromentary friendly paint for which we hired a local painter.
We collaborated with the Highland Park Neighborhood Association, Envienergy Studio, and CRJA-IBI Group Landscape Architects and designed a new addition to a city-owned Roxbury site on Marcella Street that is LEED Platinum, energy positive, and deeply affordable. We were recently announced as the winning team by the neighborhood association and the City of Boston. The fruits of our labor are on display at the Boston Society of Architects, and will remain in the BSA gallery until November 18.
