Developer WinnCompanies sought to transform Stone Mill, originally constructed in 1845, into a 21st-century model of energy-efficient adaptive reuse, creating 86 mixed-income apartments. The goal was to develop one of the first fossil-fuel-free, all-electric apartment communities in the state, one that would consume 40% less energy and emit 30% fewer greenhouse gases than a typical gas-fired multifamily building.
Pennrose, LGBTQ Senior Housing, Inc., and the City of Boston Mayor’s Office of Housing set out to create New England’s first LGBTQ-affirming, incomerestricted housing community for seniors. Dubbed The Pryde, the project would transform the former Barton Rogers School in Hyde Park, originally constructed in 1899, into 74 affordable apartments.
Boston Volvo Village set out to transform the former New England regional headquarters for International Harvester, a five-story, 71,000-square-foot historic Beaux-Arts building constructed in 1925, into a modern urban car dealership and offices. The intent was not only to preserve a historic landmark in the rapidly gentrifying Allston neighborhood, but to follow sustainability principles by reducing the amount of building materials needed to transform the space.
