Phase 3C of the Anne M. Lynch Homes at Old Colony has been awarded “Best Low-Rise Multifamily Building” by Phius #2

EM Structural is proud to have been part of Phase 3C of the Anne M. Lynch Homes at Old Colony located in Boston, Massachusetts. 

We appreciate the kind words of Nate Thomas AIA CPHC with The Architectural Team. 

“The ownership consistently sings the whole team’s praises for how well that phase went, in particular Phase 3C. As some of you may already know Phase 3C has won “Best Low-Rise Multifamily Building” at the 2022 Phius Passive Projects Design Competition which recognizes the best passive projects in North America and beyond. That win is a testament to how well the entire team did, so congratulations to all of you!” 

Phase 3C provides a completely affordable apartment community for seniors and those with disabilities. Fifty-five highly efficient, resilient, and accommodating units allows members of the community to age in place and continue to live within their community. 

Sustainability features include solar panels, high-efficiency LED lighting, low flow and high-efficiency plumbing features, all within an air-tight envelope. 

Project partners include The Architectural Team Inc, Boston Housing Authorities, and Beacon Communities.
