The St. Regis Residences, Boston

Project Information

Overlooking Boston Harbor, the design of the twisting sculptural form of the St. Regis Residences, Boston, celebrates the forces of the sea and evokes the billowing sails of ships plying the harbor.
The 22-story building in Boston’s Seaport District is designed for LEED Gold certification with 114 condominiums, 10,000 square feet of restaurant space, and an underground garage.
A large open-air deck at ground level wraps around the building for public enjoyment, completing another segment of Boston’s Harborwalk.

White Elephant Palm Beach

Project Description

The comprehensive design for this reimagined historic property introduces a new aesthetic to Palm Beach: Effortlessly refined, gracious with a touch of wit, and filled with 20th and 21st-century original artwork curated especially for the White Elephant Palm Beach.
As the new sister hotel to New England Development’s White Elephant Nantucket, this Palm Beach destination is a contemporary interpretation of Mediterranean revival architecture that supports the same meticulous standard of service for its sophisticated global guests.
Built in the 1920s and designated a historic landmark in 1980, designers reimagined the venerable structure to create a gracious four-story hotel with 13 rooms and 19 suites.
Black-and-white awnings and black trim against a fresh white stucco finish highlight the classic architecture while lending a contemporary look to the structure.
Interiors are infused with layered finishes and patterns, custom-made furniture, and historic details all set against a palette of soft warm and cool neutrals that capture the quality of Palm Beach light.

401 Park Repositioning

Project Description

Opened in 1928, the 1M-square-foot Sears Roebuck & Co. store, warehouse, and distribution center was a retail powerhouse until Sears abandoned the building in 1988.
Now called 401 Park, the historic landmark is once again a neighborhood cornerstone, paying homage to the Fenway’s legacy while serving as a dynamic day/night destination for visitors, workers, and residents.
The mixed-use hub links Boston’s Fenway and Longwood Medical neighborhoods by activating common areas on the garage level, ground-floor lobby, and second-floor atria and lobby as well as the exterior realm.
Design solutions include creating a new social entry space, stripping interiors to reveal the building’s authentic character, creating a custom railing with Boston-centric names and places, creating a space for the 25,000-sf Time Out Market food hall, and introducing public art inside and out.

The three-level iron staircase leads from the ground-floor lobby up to the second level lobby with two office atria, or down to underground parking.

An extension of the second level lobby overlooks the constant activity in Time Out Market, as does the office space on the right-hand side.

One Broadway Lobby

Project Description

Repositioning the 4,500-sf lobby in the One Broadway office tower introduces a vibrant, welcoming space for people to connect, collaborate, and recharge.
In a unique departure from traditional lobby design, comfortable seating and a spacious communal worktable offer alternative workspaces for visitors and building tenants.
Wall treatments, furniture, light fixtures, and drapery create definition in the open space. Acoustical solutions include a wall of fabric-wrapped tiles, acoustic tiles that disappear into each ceiling waffle, and large area rugs.
A wall-sized glass garage door swings open to connect the adjacent restaurant to the lobby, adding to warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Auerbach Center at Boston Landing

Project Description

Named for the legendary Celtics coach, the 70,000-sf Auerbach Center at Boston Landing dramatically cantilevers toward a major commuter highway atop a mixed-use building that is elegantly massed as a skewed stack of three two-story elements.
Lighting, materials, and color considerations purposefully chosen to help simulate game-day experiences; the practice courts feature the team’s signature red oak parquet flooring.
Highlights include a sports science lab, training/recovery facilities, a therapeutic floatation tank, and a medical room with bone-imaging capability. Court-embedded “force-and-motion” floor plates collect data on player performance.

Draper

“Together with Elkus Manfredi, we are creating the next generation of Draper — collaborative, collegial, entrepreneurial, fostering open innovation while maintaining strict security protocols demanded by our work.”

Elizabeth Mora

Chief Administrative Officer, Vice President of Finance and Administration

Project Description

Reinvented the 456,055-square-foot headquarters—organized around a new steel and glass atrium—to create a more open work environment ripe for spontaneous exchanges.
The atrium transforms a previously outdoor plaza into a vibrant space that fosters collaboration and exploration both with a public side and an employee-only side.
Interior executive area features a 4:1 ratio of open workstations to private offices, all of which are glass-fronted to reduce hierarchy and maintain transparency across all departments.
Daylight reaches deep into all work areas, and pops of bright color infuse the offices with vitality.
