Mixed-use development to bring new life to Boston’s Allston neighborhood
Bozzuto set out to redevelop Boston’s Allston neighborhood into a dynamic, mixed-use area with connectivity and community engagement at its core. Allston Yards, as it will be called, will bring new housing, retail, commercial office, and laboratory space to neighborhood. Bozzuto reached out to our team to help bring their first planned building, Building A, to life.
We provided architecture and unit interior design for Building A, reflecting its unique siting with a charcoal gray palette that anchors the building into the more sculptural, wood, and light gray tone volumes extending out to the rest of the development. The ground floor retail edge gently follows the curve of Guest Street extension, while the residential lobby faces the new community green allowing residents to feel as if the park is an extension of their home.
When complete in early 2024, Building A will feature 165 rental units across four floors, an urban prototype of a Stop & Shop grocery store, two levels of below grade parking, and solar photovoltaic panels on the high roof. Building A is a transit-oriented design that invests in critical infrastructure by providing new connections to the Boston Landing transit station, improving pedestrian and bicycle connections, and creating a publicly accessible open community green space.

Housing satisfies a universal human need, and in that mandate there is the challenge I relish: design solutions at a range of scales, from the individual eye and hand to the macro level of a city.
