Hyde-Blakemore Condominiums
Urban Edge Development
Roslindale, Massachusetts
The Hyde-Blakemore Condominiums is an affordable housing development with Urban Edge and will provide 13 units in three buildings along Hyde Park Avenue in Roslindale.
Two duplexes draw from the existing character of houses found in the immediate vicinity, along Hyde Park Avenue. At the intersection with Blakemore Street, a new three-story 9-unit residence finds its inspiration in similar precedents and vernacular motifs found elsewhere in the neighborhood. The three ground-floor units in the larger building are accessible, and all units in all three buildings are Energy Star Rated. Units in each of the duplexes will take advantage of solar power through photovoltaic panels to be installed on the roof. Each building will be separated from its neighbor with a carefully considered landscape strategy. Not only will this take into account the desire for more greenery as well as privacy between buildings, but also will address other environmental issues, such as storm water run-off through grading and the use of bioswales.
