TELFORD 180

Boston, MA

Located between Soldiers Field Road and Western Avenue in the Allston neighborhood, Telford 180 contains 85 residential condominiums within six stories.  A two-level garage provides parking for cars and bicycles.

At the ground level, the contemporary streetscape and 6,000 SF publicly accessible plaza enhance the urban neighborhood.  The site is located within easy walking distance of public transit and is connected to the Charles River Reservation by an immediately adjacent pedestrian bridge. 

A roof terrace contains a series of garden rooms that allow for multiple small groups to gather simultaneously.  Raised planting areas containing small trees (Amelanchier canadensis) and groundcovers (Liriope muscari) provide airy separation between the grilling, dining, and lounging areas while maintaining visual transparency across the roof.
