Wilcutt Townhouses

The Wilcutt Road Condominiums respond to a uniquely challenging hillside site composed of two adjacent parcels accessed from different streets. The upper parcel, a narrow strip of land off Mt. Bowdoin Terrace, sits significantly above the larger lower parcel on Wilcutt Road, where a dilapidated existing home once occupied the site.

​

Rather than flattening the topography, the project works with it. The design steps a three-story townhouse building up the steep slope, placing parking on the narrower upper parcel and allowing the residential volumes to engage the natural grade. The result is a series of alternating modern forms that create an unexpected harmony with the site.

​

Large windows frame expansive views from the upper floors while bringing abundant natural light deep into each residence. The project transforms a difficult and irregular site into a thoughtful multifamily development shaped by slope, access, light, and view.
