House & Hotel features the “Big Dig” in Boston.
The story of the “Big Dig House”, is easy to tell. Its just a “my way” project. A lot of raw steel and concrete from Boston’s massive Big Dig highway project. The home’s original owner was a civil engineer involved with the Big Dig, which took down our congested, elevated, main I-93 expressway. During its construction, the home’s owner asked Cambridge architects Single Speed Design to do something unique and almost unthinkable in residential house design — they were asked to recycle and reuse some of the huge amounts of constructions waste from the temporary infrastructure put up in the Big Dig highway project as they designed his house.
We love it.
