11 E Lenox

Mass Timber, CLT, Passive House, Reduced Carbon, Multi-Unit, Residential

The only Mass Timber Passive House residential building in New England, this project is an innovative 7-story, mixed-use, multifamily building with a unique structure that requires no podium. It is constructed with CLT/Mass Timber for greater safety, efficiency, and a reduced carbon footprint. It has received full Passive House accreditation and boasts many energy efficient features including solar PV arrays, a VRF system coupled with energy recovery ventilation, and a super-insulated envelope with high-performance windows.

We conducted an LCA report on 11 East Lenox to compare the environmental impacts of the as-built Mass Timber building to a functionally equivalent steel building. The report focuses on the embodied carbon emissions of the building and highlights the benefits of using mass timber as a construction material.

14 E. Springfield St.

Multi-Unit, Residential

The existing building at 14 E. Springfield Street was undersized and out of place in the neighborhood. By adding two stories and completely renovating the existing facade, the building now fits in with the context of the street. The work included modifications to the existing precast structure and underpinning the foundation. Terracotta paneling, a walk out deck, and a revived entrance are a few of the features that give new life to the building. A combination of white trim and natural wood on the interior further adds to the clean contemporary feel of the design.‍‍‍
