Longwood Row is a combination of renovation and new construction work, preserving the Roxbury puddingstone townhouse structures at 2-5 Sewall Street and 1472-1474 Tremont Street. The design highlights the juxtaposition of existing and new, inspired by the contrast between natural puddingstone and manmade materials, such as composite panels and brick. The new building at 1-3 Sewall Street includes four stories on Tremont Street and five stories set back from Tremont and Sewall. Overall, the project includes 33 living units, 10 covered parking spaces, space for 33 bicycles, and ground floor retail. In addition to the four units renovated in the Tremont Street townhouses, 29 units are available in the new building and include 12 studios, 14 one-bedroom units, and three two-bedroom units. Four units meet the city’s affordability requirements.
