Cottage Street
Infill and Placemaking.
This new residential and commercial building revitalizes the site of an existing gas station and run-down retail store for the development of a 23-unit mixed-use residential building. 47 Cottage is an example of an effective use of urban space, building on a local infill site as a continuance of a vibrant neighborhood.
Efficient Mixed Use.
Working closely with the contractor we were able to achieve 20% better efficiency than code requires. Strategies include efficient layout of dwelling units and party walls. Constant coordination of mechanical, electrical and plumbing layouts and penetrations. Constant review and collaboration of airsealing details.
Designed to Bridge.
The design team worked to maximize glazed area while keeping the downtown mixed with the industrial context of the building in mind.
