Unit Types & Aggregation housing typology - peabody terrace - sert jackson gourley 1964
Edward Kim Ground-level residents can directly access their units along the perimeter of the buildings, with private access at the rear facing the courtyard. Residents in units above access their units through shared vestibules either off of the stair or corridor. Despite the skip-stop system’s efficiency in conserving corridor space and maximizing living space, it is limiting in terms of providing ADA access to the whole building.

The development of Row Houses in Worcester Square shortly followed the development of nearby Chester Square and Union Park, in response to a growing number of Bostonians moving out to the suburbs during the mid 19th century. Its form however, is derived from the homes of Beacon Hill, built as early as the 1630’s, consisting of a service floor, a living and entertainment floor, and bedroom floors.

While the exteriors maintain their original appearance, the interiors of the contemporary Row House in Boston have been significantly altered. In the early 21st Century, much of the South End faced economic downtown, and many of the Row Houses were split up into units to accomodate for a growing immigrant population. With recent real estate booms in the South End, the area has experienced signficant urban renewal. The interiors have been adapted to meet the changing needs of households. As shown in this typical unit, the kitchen has become much more of the focal point and part of the living space.
