Terraces of Newton is a 48 unit condominium community located within 1/2 mile of Newton Centre downtown. Brown Sardina led the master planning and approval process and was granted construction approval from the community members, Design Subcommittee and Newton Board of Alderman. Project services included; community outreach, master planning, permitting through construction administration and site and landscape design.
Occupying a steeply wooded site, the master plan relies on a loop roadway for vehicular access and a network of stone veneer walls to create accessible common spaces. Each home has been specifically designed with one-story front facades and two-story rear porches which overlook private gardens and the common spaces. Along the street edge, established oaks and maples sit among a lushly planted understory to provide an appealing streetscape and privacy to home owners.
