About this project

The property is currently under agreement to be acquired from the Weston Affordable Housing Trust, and design review is underway. The project is currently conceived as a six-home project (three two-family homes). Habitat Greater Boston is working with the architect to ensure the design complements the neighborhood and pays homage to the historic nature of the local architecture in Weston with colonial styles, gables, and front porches.

The site and landscape plans have been designed with input from a certified arborist to preserve as many healthy, existing trees as possible and also to provide a significant number of additional trees for replanting. These will help to serve as replacements for any trees removed as well as provide visual screening from the street and the adjacent home. Additionally, we are working closely with the Weston Plant Pollinator Alliance to assist us in making the best choice of species to replant for the health of the overall ecosystem.
