ATAS’ Brookley Flats Wins 2026 Metal Architecture Design Award
The Boston affordable housing development earned recognition for its colorful metal cladding, Passive House design and artist live-work spaces
ATAS International announced that the Brookley Flats in Boston, Mass., is the recipient of the Publisher’s Choice Award in the 2026 Metal Architecture Design Awards. Its unique cladding features dynamic-colored coatings that reflect the culture of its artist-community occupants. This prestigious recognition highlights ATAS International’s dedication to pushing boundaries and elevating design with metal.
The award is presented to projects that demonstrably reflect key concepts the magazine presents throughout the year and are featured in the publication's June/July edition.
Located at 10 Stonley Road, Brookley Flats in Jamaica Plain is a 45-unit, income-restricted homeownership development. The fully electric, Passive House-certified building features artist live-work studios and sits just half a mile from the Forest Hills MBTA (Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority) Station. Constructed through a partnership between the Jamaica Plain Neighborhood Development Corporation (JPNDC), Causeway Development LLC, and JGE Architecture + Design, the 44,500-square-foot complex opened in the spring of 2026. It is considered the largest affordable homeownership development built and occupied in Boston to date, per Boston.gov.
ATAS’ .040 aluminum Rigid Wall II panels in six colors were used to create the unique design, including Black, Chocolate Brown, Redwood, Mission Red, Brite Red, and Boysenberry. The panels were installed by Longarone Exteriors and were purchased through Kamco Supply Corp. of Boston.
