Border St Housing

This project, another collaboration led by Joy Street Design in East Boston, presented us with the challenge of creating a cohesive building that also speaks to the fabric of the neighborhood – individual triple deckers, often connected at street level with commercial spaces.

Machinist Chest House

What if we reconceptualized a dated penthouse, using a series of activated and kinetic architectural elements, to create the ultimate space for entertaining?

Cambridgeport House

What if we could find a way to add extra spaces, without adding to the building’s footprint…and without needing a zoning variance?

Pickup Truck Prototype

What if we could turn a problem [lack of housing, lack of jobs] into a solution using architecture?

Working against systemic economic, cultural, environmental, and political patterns,..

Stilt House

The clients for this project were looking for a place to retire – a place where they could have family come to stay, but that would be comfortable for them year round in this coastal climate. They were looking for that elusive combination of open, flowing spaces with spaces to get away with a book,..
