The building is being built in accordance with Passive House standards, which includes principles that ensure continuous insulation through entire envelope without any thermal bridging, airtight envelope, preventing loss of conditioned air, high-performance windows and doors, balanced heat and moisture recovery ventilation with minimal space conditioning system and solar gain. The below grade ground floor will be built within the natural slope of the landscape creating a natural amphitheater shape on the exterior. 75 kW photovoltaic arrays will also provide energy for all electric including heating and ventilation. Our team will self-perform the concrete foundation.

West Mill contains three buildings totaling 200,000 sq. ft. The four-story west portion of the mill was converted into 108 exclusive, “true loft style” condominiums totaling over 125,000 sq. ft. The units, ranging from studios to two bedroom duplexes, overlook the adjacent Merrimack River.

Amenities include a state-of-the-art fitness center, a spacious roof deck, a 12 hour concierge and easy access to the Merrimack Riverwalk, located directly behind the mill.

Both buildings will receive full interior and exterior renovations to repair decades of damage to their historic architecture and bring them up to modern standards. The Monastery will become an apartment building with 27 new units and associated public gathering spaces. The Church will receive a more substantial renovation to transform it into a community space with lounges and co-working areas on the ground floor and a fitness center below. Public pedestrian connections around and through the site to the Monastery Path will be enhanced with new sidewalks, benches and street lights.

The project is supported by the Boston Preservation Alliance for its sensitive historic rehabilitation of the structures—specifically the landmarked Monastery. All historic architecture will remain and be restored during the renovation, including original plaster, stained glass and millwork.

• Deep energy retrofit of dated building infrastructure to improve overall efficiency
• Management of a full roof replacement, façade skinning and new infrastructure installation
• Complex phasing, safety and communication plans in place to safely and efficiently conduct work around elderly building occupants

Millers River Apartments is a 19-story apartment building featuring 297 low-income, senior and respite housing units. The high-rise has gone largely untouched since its original 1970’s construction, calling for a deep energy retrofit and renovation of the dated building infrastructure, with a significant goal being to improve the building’s systems and thermal efficiency. Individual units and common areas are being revitalized, and the exterior is receiving a full roof replacement and total reskinning of the façade, which requires the removal of existing balconies to increase unit square footage.

Because of the apartment complex’s thermal load needs, a 125 kilowatt (kW) trigeneration system is being installed. Hot water from the engine supplements the building’s heating needs, while the installation of a 600 MBH hot water absorption chiller supports cooling needs. The new heating plant features hot water boilers and indirect water heaters for domestic water, and the cooling plant features a high-efficiency 325 ton air-cooled chiller. To increase resident comfort, the building envelope is also being refitted to provide more insulation, and each apartment now features a four-pipe fan coil system. LED lighting is being installed throughout the building in lieu of the existing halogens and fluorescent lights.

The project included complex urban logistics, with a tight site on Oxford Street in the heart of the congested Chinatown district. With no laydown area, the project required re-routing of traffic, just-in-time deliveries, careful sequencing of disruptive work and other measures to mitigate neighborhood impacts. Unsuitable and potentially contaminated soils were another challenge of this site, requiring a pre-classification process and appropriate disposal procedures.

This 11-story structural steel building was built on an accelerated 14-month schedule.
