Wellesley Values

Union Point Residential

The Tailby and Railroad parcels offer an opportunity to improve the infrastructure in Wellesley and offer community enhancements that benefit not only the welcomed diversity of new residents but also everyone who lives within the town and surrounding areas.  Through our analysis of the site and context, we established a design framework; a set of ideas which define the principles, goals, and layout of the architectural expression.  In looking through a lens of enhancing community, connectivity, and sustainability, our framework was built on enhancing the current town assets of the trails, the commute, the forum and the open space.
