Award Winners

Trolley Square (Cambridge, MA)
designed by Mostue & Associates (Somerville MA)
Homeowner's Rehab (developer, Cambridge MA); Geller Devellis (civil engineer/landscape architect, Wellesley MA); Commercial Construction Consulting (MEP/FP engineer, Boston); Ocmulgee Associates (structural engineer, Galisteo NM); Thompson & Lichtner (exterior envelope, Cambridge MA); Engineered Solutions (commissioning agent, Natick MA)
This multi-family affordable housing facility offers residents both rental and ownership possibilities
It enlivens a former storage facility area in an already pedestrian and bicycle-heavy neighborhood that includes many bus routes and subway stations nearby
The design is an interesting urban structure that is at once stylish with historical references
Residential units are based on townhouse style and have front and back windows to maximize daylight and fresh air circulation
Retail storefronts at ground level contribute to liveliness on the street while community rooms, stoops and a central exterior roof garden plaza provide intimate spots for privacy or gathering
Though we were delighted to discover its existence, we wished that the rooftop garden looked less barren and uninviting.
