50 & 100 Boatswain’s Construction Complete

50 & 100 Boatswain’s Way Construction Complete!

The interior renovations at 50 & 100 Boatswain’s Way in Chelsea, MA are complete!  These lobbies are a shining example of how a few thoughtful design statements can completely transform a space, even when working within a tight budget. 

For this project we used ceiling details, flooring patterns, and new furniture layouts to create a sense of scale and definition.  Paired with fresh paint and updated light fixtures, these spaces are not only brighter and more inviting, but offer more functionality for the residents as well.

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.

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!
