The Residences at Franklin School
Medford, Massachusetts

A hundred year old school in Medford is redeveloped by The Equity Company as twenty condominiums, three of them affordable. A series of double-height dormers wrapped in glass and an aluminum-clad entry provide a dramatic counterpoint to the carefully restored masonry. Additional floor levels built under the steeply sloping roof create a series of overlooks within the soaring loft-style penthouse units. High performance systems are energy efficient.
