Olmsted Village

Project type

Affordable Senior Housing

Location

Mattapan, Boston, MA

Firm

MASS Design Group

The Olmsted Village development is positioned uniquely between the urban edge of the Mattapan neighborhood fabric and the Boston Nature Center and Wildlife Sanctuary. This site provided a chance to bridge the gap between the underserved community and nature. The central focus on addressing the ‘Nature Gap’ guided the entire development process, influencing everything from the overarching Master Plan to the intricate details of building design and facade development.

The vision for Olmsted Village encompasses a diverse community spanning generations, offering 269 fresh housing options. The guiding principles strive to foster connections between different age groups through nature, support graceful aging within a close-knit community, and open avenues for homeownership and family equity.
