Arch House
BOSTON, MA
The East Boston Arch House is our namesake and new construction flagship. Inspired by the robust architectural character of historic firehouses, the rhythmic arcaded window progression gives the building a timeless sense of openness and connection to the neighborhood. Behind the waterstruck brick corbeling, features like the French cast iron suspended wood burning fireplace and King's Board-width Vermont milled eastern white pine flooring set off the bespoke spaces inside. Sitting proudly at the entrance to the Greenway at the nexus of Jeffries Point, Maverick Square, Paris Street Flats, Gove Street, and Eagle Hill neighborhoods, the Arch House represents an architectural invitation to its neighbors to enjoy the building as much as its inhabitants.
bremen park
Boston, MA
Bremen Park Condominiums sits proudly overlooking the pristinely landscaped Bremen Street Park's open green, ampitheatre and Blue Line MBTA Station entrance. High ceilings and bay windows usher the pastoral splendor of the Greenway into each southeastern facing living room. Notice the mural we commissioned by Felipe Ortiz entitled "Heart of the Ocean" beside it as featured on the front page of the Boston Globe's Arts section.
Boston, MA
the prelude
Boston, MA
These twin mansard roofed brick rowhouses have been quaintly sitting outside Maverick Square since the 19th century. City directories show these rooms have been inhabited by shipwrights, teamsters, painters and more. Historic photos show a now concealed exterior wall was once adorned by a mural advertisement for the Gumball Factory which it faced. We named this building The Prelude as it was the first of four abutting properties we acquired, developed or renovated, and now manage these blocks.
the watchmaker
Boston, MA
In the face of demolishing this semi-detached centenarian to make way for a larger development, we opted to preserve this handsome Eagle Hill brick rowhouse with its keystone masonry lintels, baskethandle transom, historic millwork and all. The earliest records show it was owned by Edward Lewis Grueby, a local watchmaker, silversmith and jeweler with a shop on the Winthrop Block of Maverick Square. The Watchmaker moniker is in his honor.
85|ev
Boston, MA
85|EV was a flat-front utiliarian rowhouse which we gutted, expanded and reimagined into this modern stack of chic condominiums we still field compliments from today, including: "you turned this into the nicest building on the street" from a formerly skeptical 30+ year abutter. The diagonal cedar plank facade inlays inspired timber accents on three subsequent unrelated facade renovations on the surrounding blocks, proving the influence of intentional design in a neighborhood identity's evolution. Renovation designed by Zephyr Architects.
vincent
Boston, MA
Curved corners, iron spot brick, vertical gardens: this illustrious project-in-progress is the result of years of diligence, design and legal acrobatics in partnership with our consultants and colleagues, one of whom has taken the baton to carry it through to reality. We are incredibly honored to have served on this project's team and excited to play audience to the Zephyr Architects post modern curved masterpiece's execution.
GREEN HOUSE
Boston, MA
A 21st Century recreation of the time-honored New England Six-Pack multifamily configuration, the East Boston Green House is a pair of semi-attached triple deckers featuring light drenching octagonal bays and luxuriously oversized apartments. In addition to painting the exterior a deep dark green to reflect the Greenway facing location, we fully landscaped the former gravel and trash back yard for a rare large private green respite behind the bustle of the energentic urban neighborhood.
