Modern Architecture Design of MacAllen Building Condominiums in Boston by Office dA, Inc
Sponsored Link
The Macallen Building is a multi family building in South Boston, designed to incorporate green design as a way of marketing a green lifestyle while at the same time increasing revenue from the project by Boston based architecture firm office dA, Inc.
This building located in a transitional site that mediates between highway off-ramps, an old residential fabric, and an industrial zone, the building negotiates different scales and urban configurations.
The Macallen Building was designed from the ground up to take advantage of “green” building techniques and materials. Some of the green building features include innovative technologies that will save over 600,000 gallons of water annually while consuming 30% less electricity than a conventional building. On the western end, the building responds to the highway with a curtain wall yielding panoramic views for the residents inside the building. On the eastern end, brickwork mirrors that of the residential building fabric, extending the logic of the storefront and pedestrian scale elements on that facade. On the north and south facades, bronzed aluminum panels reflect the industrial neighborhood component and express the structural system organization.
