The Lucky Strike site in Dorchester, MA, was the site of a former bowling alley. Located at a prominent intersection, at the junction of Park and Adams Street, the site is a short walk to the fields Corner MBTA stop.
Davis Square Architects is currently working with the client to design and develop a new mixed-use building of commercial spaces and rental residential units, totaling 38,000 sf. The rental housing above the commercial spaces will be a mix of 1, 2, and 3 bedroom units. The site will also include surface parking and landscaped greenspace. The unique form of the three-story building is derived from the curve of the street; and the building is designed to maximize natural daylighting and views for each unit.
