212 Stuart Street - Residential Building / Höweler + Yoon Architecture + Sasaki

Situated between two neighborhoods, 212 Stuart Street negotiates the intimate residential scale of historic Bay Village and the high-rise scale of Boston’s High Spine. Moving away from the more traditional all-glass high rises in the city, the team sought to bring quality and depth to the urban façade. Employing an innovative approach to materials and construction, the building’s distinctive façade consists of fluted piers that vary in scale across the envelope and resonate with the masonry detailing of the historic neighborhood.
