Description of Project 

The property at 39 Main Street in Medway, MA is a 12.3 acre parcel located proximate to commercial and retail concentrations in the Town of Medway.   The neighborhood features a variety of mixed uses including single family residential, retail, restaurants, business uses and a few small multi-family residential properties.  Currently, a single family house occupies the site.

The project will feature 190 apartment units comprised of a mix of 76 1BR units, 95 2BR units and 19 3BR units. The units will range in size from 825 SF to 1,225 SF.  The site will feature 304 surface parking spaces for a parking ratio of 1.6 spaces per unit.  The project is comprised of a single slabon-grade residential apartment building.  The building is a four / five floor split design in order to respect the Main Street frontage and corridor, even though the front of the building is several hundred feet back from Main Street and not particularly visible due to existing and planned vegetation.

The exterior architecture uses a clean contemporary approach to the traditional New England aesthetic/style and subtle massing.  Projected bays, trim accents at windows, material transitions, detailing, material color, and changes to the plane of the exterior walls all combine to visually reduce the mass of the building to a pedestrian-friendly scale. The exterior material palate includes a mix of cement board and cedar shakes as well as lap siding which introduces different textures and rhythms to the elevations. The project as a whole will feature flat roofs, which through centralized mechanical wells and location/parapet design respectively, will allow all mechanical systems to be installed without being visible from grade.

Within the residential areas, the typical floor plan for the first building provides access to units off a central double-loaded corridor that connects several egress stair cores. Typical one, two and three bedroom units are designed with spacious open kitchen/living areas, comfortable bedrooms and bathrooms, as well as large walk-in closets. Large windows provide abundant natural light at each unit. In addition to high-quality finishes and individual environmental control, each unit will contain modern energy-efficient appliances, in-unit laundry, and low-energy lighting fixtures, all of which combine to provide contemporary luxury with a traditional timelessness.
