Inman Crossing

Status:  In construction - projected completion Fall 2018

Program: 38,000 SF mixed-use development

Our team is excited to be a part of this transformational moment in Cambridge’s urban life, and we hope that our design speaks to the history of the site, while adding new residential life to a once sleepy corner of the city.

Our project will provide 35 new units of housing, which includes 4 units for Cambridges Inclusionary Housing Program.  The project features an array of high-performance building features, and is slated to receive a LEED Gold rating.

Infilladelphia

Infilladelphia is an award-winning competition proposal that tests out a decentralized development model in the Mantua-Belmont neighborhood of Philadelphia.

In areas such as Mantua-Belmont, where urban vacancy and blight exists in close proximity to high land values and urban cores, gentrification is a risk. Development in similar areas commonly results in multi-parcel buildings that are significantly larger in scale than the existing housing stock and escalating property values that challenge the local community. Total neighborhood health is a first principle for Infilladelphia. Social well-being, physical well-being, and economic well-being are seen as key components in a continuous feedback loop to sustain long-term community health.

Infilladelphia proposes a neighborhood development methodology that incorporates tactical interventions into a long range planning process, uses new data resources to optimize key community programming, creates low-rise housing prototypes to facilitate parcel-by-parcel development.
