South End Infill and Small Developments

I saw some drawings of the design a few months ago, and it looked unapologetically contemporary. Nothing crazy, but I dont think anyone will mistake it for it's Victorian neighbors.

I like the sound of that, would love to see it or at least know who the architect is.
 
Pierce, the architect is Guy Grassi. His firm does a lot of high end residential, with a traditional bent. This is a personal project, so this house is a bit of a departure from his client-driven stuff.

Things do change in this city.

Wish the white was black and the black was white.
 
I'm not sure I like it but at least it's mildly interesting.

Isn't this what we keep seeking more of?
 
What was there before the hole?

It looks very skinny, how many people are expected to live there?
 
John beat me to the photos. They just took down the scaffolding.

It was a surface parking lot.

Yeah, it is very slim. I'm pretty sure it's narrow side is only 14' wide.
 
FYI...overheard the owner talking about the project in the coffee shop this morning...he said the trim will be gray...the white is just the color from the manufacturer.
 
Real differentiated bricks!

<"oh boy" whiiiiiiiiiiistle>
 
Too bad every building isn't an architect's own home/office. This one's a keeper.
 
I guess I will withhold my verdict until the trim is painted grey and I see it in person.
 
If Robert Venturi and the 1870's South End had a baby...
