Crescent Field Housing
for the Women's Institute for Housing and
Economic Development in Newton, MA

This project developed an
affordable housing site with 20 units available to first time homebuyers,
private market and the Newton Housing Authority as permanent rentals.
Our objectives were to create an
identifiable neighborhood that would continue the residential character of
Crescent Street and to maximize green space with diversified planting. Each
housing unit has its own front and back yard with a gathering space on site for
the entire complex. A new street was developed with on-street parking and direct
access to all the units. Since this site borders the Mass Turnpike, a sound
barrier was constructed between the highway and housing site.
