Hearth at Four Corners

Hearth at Four Corners creates 54 units of safe, supportive and affordable housing for low-income and at-risk elders in Dorchester to age in place. The 49,000 sf development is located on a previously vacant City-owned lot and is adjacent to an MBTA commuter rail station.

The wood-framed, L-shaped building features a brick masonry base and shingle siding, with floor-to-ceiling windows featured in the center volume. A welcoming community room on the ground floor features warm finishes and connects to outdoor landscaped space. Residents have 24/7 access to on-site concierge services and a Resident Service Coordinator. Hearth at Four Corners construction used the highest standards of universal design throughout the new building to accommodate older adults of all abilities. The building meets LEED Silver, Energy Star, and Enterprise Green Community standards.

DREAM was Design Architect and TAT was Architect of Record.
