DREAM Collaborative is providing full architectural design services for a Passive House, five-story, 50-unit affordable senior housing development at the heart of Bartlett Station in Roxbury. The project is the next phase of a LEED ND master plan to transform a former MBTA bus yard into a thriving mixed-use, mixed-income community. The mix of 1- and 2-bedroom units are designed to provide a high-quality, accessible option for neighborhood residents to age in place in their own community while also leaving a light carbon footprint. The project seeks to push the design stereotypes of affordable housing and 55+ living with a fresh and engaging design both inside and out.
