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!

We are excited to announce that we will work with CBT as Associate Architects to realize a 150 key boutique hotel in the former Hotel Alexandra building on Massachusetts Ave, just blocks from our office in South End!

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.

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!
