Allston Residence

CONTENT Architecture
Role: Design Co-Lead
Completed 2021

A modern home in a historic district, this house’s steep roof pitch relates to neighboring houses and acts as an inflection point for the slight angle of the facade, which adds a subtle sense of invitation to the front and back porches. The ground-level main living areas are all visible from the bar, where the client mixes cocktails while hosting guests and tending to a growing family. On the second floor, skylights mark the entrance to every bedroom, each ringed with a unique color. Working directly with the Principal, I led the project from SD through early construction. I presented to the neighborhood Historic Commission to win approval for the project, drafted the majority of CDs, and visited the site weekly for early CA.
