25 Amory Jamaica Plain, MA
Once a vacant lot, cleared as part of the halted I-95 highway project, 25 Amory Apartments turns the corner of Amory Street with a gracious clerestory bay and a rhythm of stoops along the well-traveled connection to Jackson Square Station. The main residential entry porch spills daylight through the building to the community room and landscaped courtyard beyond. In addition to residential use, new streets with broad sidewalks and street trees connect the larger redevelopment as one of the final phases of the decades-long Jackson Square Master Plan. The improved streetscape is enlivened by two-story bays and inviting front stoops, adding texture to this transitional transit-oriented site. Colorful cues identify each floor level and accent the shared spaces, while a private shelf at each entry invites residents to personalize their front door.
