Welcome to our Boston studio
Here in the home of the American Revolution, we’re proud of our rebel roots. We hold fast to our values—diversity, collaboration, and innovation—and we’re only half-joking when we tell people to run until apprehended, because we see our studio less like an office and more like a test lab. Ingenuity is embedded in the fabric of our practice, blurring traditional boundaries between disciplines. We take advantage of our city’s world-class academic institutions, actively seeking new perspectives for a fresh, dynamic atmosphere.
Local Impact
Through a chorus of voices committed to purpose, place, and perspective as a design ethos, we are creating a better future for our growing city.
View Boston is comprised of three floors of interior and exterior observation decks, hospitality venues, and interactive exhibitions offering a birds-eye view of the city.
We created a common, continuous thread of materials and details that wind through the observation, exhibit, and hospitality spaces to create a unifying framework of intuitive wayfinding.
"The Exchange at 100 Federal adds 21st-Century dynamism to the streetscape, welcoming passersby into its airy interior with its human scale and glass walls."
Jury Commentary, Harleston Parker People's Choice Award Winner, 2019
MIT's SoMa Development in Cambridge, Massachusetts is a complex urban collective of institutional, graduate residential, research, cultural, workplace, and retail components.
Values
Craft is the essence of our purpose.
Our hands-on collaborative environment is bolstered by the designers, creators, and thinkers that uphold these values through their work. The process of making, adoration of assembly, and celebration of the hand of the maker allow us to leverage materiality in search of unconventional solutions.
Culture
We foster growth and new perspectives.
We’re proud of what makes us different. In fact, we think it’s our unique backgrounds and varied experiences that contribute most to our vibrant, creative work environment. In our studio, you’ll have the opportunity to learn and grow both as a design professional and an individual through opportunities to engage with clients and colleagues both on- and off-site.
Studio
Our Boston studio is designed for collaboration, based on our philosophy that a workplace should be a "Living Design Lab."
It’s not easy to be your own client — that’s why the people-first design of our new studio is a direct reflection of our values that showcase and foster creativity. Much like a museum with an artist-in residence, we made strides to put our unique innovation on display throughout the entire space.
Our hardworking internal design team is at the heart of it all. We extend deep gratitude to: Jeannine Campbell, Interior Design Director; Laura Duenas, Lead Interior Project Designer; Gary Sherman, Project Manager; Corrie Chamberlin, Designer; Ritzo Law, Designer; and Alexandra Dupuy, Designer.
