City of Boston Engages Kripper Studio on Housing Study 

Kripper Studio shares its involvement with Boston’s Mayor’s Office, marking their second project addressing the city’s housing shortage. Their role entails studying city-owned land and crafting a policy guide to combat the housing deficit, following their initial collaboration with the Mayor’s Office of Arts and Culture to enhance The Strand Theater’s production capabilities. 

“What might appear to be constraining available square footage or restrictive zoning ordinances are opportunities to create housing that can respect the fundamentals of healthy living,” explains Architect Amir Kripper, the Founding Principal of Kripper Studio.  “Considering the dignity of those in need, the City of Boston’s continued effort to explore alternatives confirms that quality housing should be a reachable goal for all.  I’m honored to contribute an architect’s perspective to the possible solutions.”
