Macallen Building by Office dA with Burt Hill in Boston
Located in South of Boston this huge Macallen Building was designed by Office dA with Burt Hill Architect. Macallen Building stands out from the quasi-traditional neighbors in form, scale, and materials, looks like an up-and-coming residential neighborhood, with nautical form, but it serves the purpose of providing east-facing terraces for the penthouse units to look at Boston Harbor and the ocean beyond. The wavy metal skin broken up by vertical fins is the next prominent feature, comprising the north- and south-facing elevations. They help to break up the rather expansive facades, which if articulated as flat skins may have run the risk of utter boredom, even with the apparently random windows and recessed balconies.
