“The renowned Finnish architect Alvar Aalto described his design for Baker House as a cross between a ski lodge and a ship. Every room has a view, and the shared spaces—study areas, lounges, and a luminous dining hall overlooking the Charles River—promote wonderful interaction and community.”
Dava Newman and Guillermo Trotti, Baker Housemasters
