Built in 1910 as a two-and-a-half-story, two-family house, 167 Albion Street has been reimagined as a single family home for contemporary Somerville living. A new mansard roof at the third level, a rear addition and a renewed façade give the house the room it needed while reconnecting it with the architectural character of its neighborhood.

Our client, a Somerville builder and investor team, asked us to turn two dated apartments into one home worth staying in. We measured the house in October 2024 and delivered the permit set that December, working within the city's two-and-a-half-story limit rather than fighting it.
