Made to Measure
07/27/11 08:36 Filed in: Fame

One reviewer noted of the MIT School of Architecture and Planning (primary phases completed in 2001, design team member and project manager):
“Equally remarkable is the firm’s renovation of the MIT School of Architecture and Planning that underscores transparency between studios and corridors, expanding studios across formerly double-loaded corridors, and bringing much needed washes of natural light into the building. Not only is enhanced natural lighting a reward of their innovation, but the renovation makes a dent, however modest, into the exaggerated presence of “endless corridors” that has long plagued MIT’s classroom buildings…”

Marty's Renovation
09/20/10 14:37 Filed in: On the Boards
Marty’s is a Newton landmark known for its diverse selection of outstanding wines and gourmet specialty foods from around the world. This reconstruction of the storefront and renovation of the interior will breathe new life into the environment for shopping there. To be completed in several phases allowing continuous operation, the need for expansion required a prolonged effort to obtain the necessary permission from the city. We helped Marty attain the City’s Zoning Department special permit approval through hearings and committee working sessions.
Chestnut Hill Residence

Nearing complete design effort is this addition to a modern residence in Chestnut Hill. The southern facade is being rebuilt to open the interior to the views and light the exposure will afford. Passive solar energy conservation, paired with geothermal and green roof technologies will allow this home to expand while reducing energy consumption. This project is being done in association with Anne Snelling-Lee.
