Urban Design Brief Site Plans CambridgeToday story Seems tasteful, but this is a weird sized lot and might be quite cramped downtown. The Bridges is - as always - a sore spot, but this is nice medium/high density growth to me. RE: 149 Ainslie Street North | 8fl | Proposed - ac3r - 05-21-2022 This is exactly the sort of medium density project we need downtown Cambridge. Cambridge has a unique downtown that tall buildings upset the urban fabric of so medium density is perfect. It's much easier to propose to the general public without much opposition. The building isn't that nice, but for an 8 floor infill project that's okay.

The parking garage mystery with windows from the Gaslight District thread continues... Windows have got to make it much easier to ventilate parking garage. I assume they still need fan systems unless it’s wide open but the idea of doing all the ventilation by fan with no natural ventilation sounds expensive to me. |
