Can a housing unit offer views of both front and back?

This 16-unit housing reimagines the conventional double-loaded corridor model - a highly efficient and widely used design approach. With Centre Street on one side and views of Downtown Boston on the other, the mezzanine units are planned to capture both views. As a result, this model further eliminates the corridor on the 4th floor completely increasing usable area.

Using the existing slopes, off-street parking (not shown) is located on the lowest level. Proposed retail spaces on the ground level contribute to the existing vibrant streetscape, with shops and other retail establishments. The second, third, and fourth floors are proposed for residential use.

The 14-foot-wide modules on the 4th-floor bedrooms are combined into a 28-foot-wide modules to create a wider bays for the living, dining, and kitchen areas below.
