ICON Architecture

Avenir elegantly combines 241 upscale apartments with vibrant retail and transportation links in Boston’s Bulfinch Triangle sports and entertainment district. Looking across to Boston’s Zakim Bridge, Avenir reclaims a 400 foot long block over Boston’s “Big Dig,” meeting the technical challenges of building on top of new transit infrastructure and a subway station. The 10-story building’s varied massing and texture respond to the historic Bulfinch Triangle context of individual buildings aggregated over time. Tall, multi-level lofts wrap the internal parking structure to conceal it from street view, while upper level apartments enjoy the expansive terraces created between building volumes. High end finishes include wood floors, contemporary gourmet kitchens, and luxurious soaking tubs with rain shower heads.
