We design 
We approach every project holistically, recognizing that a project is more than its design - but rather the diverse culmination and successful execution of incredible efforts from all parties involved.

12 Post Office Square

12 Post Office Square is an adaptive reuse project in the financial district and heart of downtown Boston. As part of the City of Boston’s office-to-residential conversion program, 12 Post Office Square is the thoughtful reimagining of two connected six-story buildings into a mixed-use development featuring ground-floor retail and commercial space and 70 new residential units on the upper floors. Designed to align with the City’s program goals for increasing downtown housing while preserving existing building stock and character, the project embraces sustainable light-touch building practices and complies with zoning and affordability requirements. This conversion presents an opportunity to bring new life to underutilized space while contributing to the vibrancy and livability of the urban core.

7 Dana

Introducing our latest project: 7 Dana! This new development features a 27-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building, thoughtfully designed to increase density and add much-needed housing stock to the community. We're excited to bring this modern, community-focused space to life and look forward to sharing more as the project progresses. Stay tuned for updates!

The Ellery

The Ellery is a 70 unit multi-family development in West Roxbury, MA. The project, originally conceived by an altogether different owner and architect, stalled for years due to inefficient design and halting progress. A new owner brought on MFDS and a new design team to reinvigorate the project, working within the bounds of municipal zoning and design approvals. Building efficiency was increased, units optimized and made more marketable, and costs were reduced to bring the project into better standing in a challenging market. The project will be LEED certifiable, with 100% electric systems and appliances, PV panels powering EV car charging stations, and other energy efficient systems and design. Construction is due to start late 2021.

Paragon Dunes

Paragon Dunes is a mixed-use development on a 3.5 acre site at the entrance of Hull, flanked by water on both sides and overlooking both Nantasket Beach and Hull Bay. The project seeks to build on the energy and atmosphere of Paragon Boardwalk, a modern outdoor venue offering local dining, outdoor amenities and entertainment, and event space. The addition of a contemporary 5 story residential Paragon Dunes will strengthen the place-making precedent of the Boardwalk, bringing to fruition a larger vision of creating a vibrant and permanent community in an underutilized and prime piece of Hull.

Coliving adaptive reuse

We're excited to reveal a bit of what we've been working on for the past year – a mixed-use coliving community within a reimagined adaptive use development. We've been acutely aware of the changing demographics and lifestyles in urban environments, and are excited to develop a design solution to respond to and help shape these shifts. Scroll through the gallery for a sneak peek into some coliving units and overall design progress.
