171-273 Harvey Street

Cambridge, MA

Client:

Cornerstone Cohousing Builders Group, LLC


The architectural variety and complex color scheme that define this four-building project deliberately reflect the diversity of residents in this intentional community.  One of two CoHousing complexes the firm has completed in Cambridge, Cornerstone is a development of 32 unique units, with shared community facilities.  Residents coalesced around the goal of forming a heterogeneous residential neighborhood, acting in the role of group and individual clients from inception to completion of the project.


The group’s programmatic goals included 100% visitability of all units, a balance of privacy and community, and site design maximizing usable open space within the densely built project.

An Energy Star compliant project, Cornerstone Village was constructed with sustainable products and techniques.
