Monomoy Residence Update

The Monomoy Residence is nearing completion!

The building is fully enclosed, and the finishes are well underway. Paint has started, and bathroom finishes are being installed. The wood floors will be laid later this month, just before the millwork is installed. The landscape that was planted last fall will start to grow in with the spring, and we’re looking forward to the project being complete come early spring!

Also, see Tradern Fine Woodworking’s Instagram post at the end for a sneak peek at our hidden ships ladder to the roof deck!

Second floor glass bridge looking south – the door at the end of the hallway is temporary and will be replaced with floor-to-ceiling glass for an uninterrupted view to the water.

We’re very happy with the quality and attention to detail of our woodworker on the project, Tradern Fine Woodworking. Check out their Instagram for more of their great work.

50 & 100 Boatswain’s Construction Update

50 & 100 Boatswain’s Way are undergoing some major transformations!

The arches are being framed for the barrel vault ceiling at 50 Boatswain’s Way, and the coffered ceiling structure is starting to take shape at 100 Boatswain’s Way.  Wainscot paneling is also being installed in the corridors of both buildings.  These design details are already giving us a preview of how different these spaces will feel once completed!

Monomoy Residence Skylight

Our custom operable skylight from Tilt is on its way to the US!

Designed and constructed in Australia, our custom skylight from Tilt is on en route. Due to arrive this week, Tilt also sent us a commissioning video showing its operation. Made of stainless steel and with a minimal design – its clean profile will be a beautiful addition to the roof, allowing access to the deck in conjunction with a hidden sliding ship’s ladder. Take a peek at the skylight in the video below!

50 & 100 Boatswain’s Construction Underway

Construction has begun at 50 & 100 Boatswain’s Way!

We are excited to announce that construction is officially underway at 50 & 100 Boatswain’s Way in Chelsea, MA.  This project consists of renovations at two condominium buildings, including full lobby and corridor interiors.  Once completed, both buildings will work together to achieve a cohesive overall design scheme while still maintaining their own unique identities.

1065 Tremont Phase 2 Update

The bay windows at 1065 Tremont Phase 2 are in!

The office took a site visit to see the progress at 1065 Tremont Phase 2. It was a nice day and the floor-to-ceiling bay windows were just installed for us to stand in. The view is spectacular! The expansive glass really lets you feel as if you’re out in space when standing in the bay. The windows also let in tons of light, we’re sure future tenants will appreciate the expansive views and ample daylight. Thanks to Haycon Building, our GC, for letting us tour the site and the great work.

 

The bays mimic the existing bay windows on St Cyprians Place.

 

Emily, for scale.

Monomoy Residence Update

The construction on Monomoy Residence is full speed ahead!

Windows are almost fully installed, and the mahogany trim and Kebony siding are following right behind. Credit to Haycon for their attention to detail – the minimal metal flashing at window head over the mahogany trim is coming out nicely. The Kebony cladding is already starting to weather and, together with the mahogany, will fade to a beautiful silvery grey. The metal flashing at roof eaves is also being installed, the standing seam metal roof will start this week!
