The Bunker Hill Housing Redevelopment is a large-scale transformation of Boston’s oldest public housing site. Once complete, the project will deliver 2,699 new mixed-income homes—1,010 of which will remain deeply affordable—alongside 70,000 sf of new retail and community space.

The 26-acre site aims to create a more connected and inclusive neighborhood in Charlestown.

RDH is supporting the design of two key buildings, F and M, which are targeting Passive House certification. Our team is providing Building Enclosure Consulting and Passive House Verification services to help meet aggressive energy performance and resilience goals.

We are advising on airtightness, insulation continuity, and moisture management strategies aligned with Passive House standards, while contributing detailing that supports constructability and long-term durability. RDH’s work contributes to the delivery of high-quality, energy-efficient housing in a historically underserved community.
