424 Massachusetts Avenue is a new residential building situated between historic Victorian townhouses built in the nineteenth century.  The design derives its architectural order from neighboring historic buildings, taking cues from the Victorian detailing but reinterpreting the historic context into a contemporary aesthetic. The project breaks outside of conservative boundaries and strives to establish a precedent for making buildings that compliment the existing context while exhibiting distinctive design qualities of their own.
