A Net-Zero, Cross-Laminated Timber Apartment Complex Will Rise in Boston
20th February 2020
Thanks to support from the U.S. Forest Service and the Softwood Lumber Board, developer Placetailor and Boston-based architecture firm Generate have collaborated to design a carbon-neutral apartment block in Roxbury, a neighborhood in the south end of Boston. Named Model-C, the 5-story, 19,000-square-foot building will contain 14 residential units above an affordable co-working space on its ground floor.
I love the way journalists tag some building as ‘affordable’ or not, as if that were some objective measure rather than just one person’s opinion.
