Architecture
Designed to achieve LEED Silver for Core and Shell Construction, the firm’s historic reconstruction of an existing building located on the corner of Newbury Street and Massachusetts Avenue accommodates a new retailer, Room & Board. The four-story structure underwent extensive rehabilitation to include structurally stabilizing the building, repairing exterior masonry walls, and adding a four-story addition with a contemporary glass curtain wall visible from Massachusetts Avenue. The design of the interior incorporates a large visible circulation stair and two exterior patio spaces facing Newbury Street. The Architectural Team, Inc. served as Executive Architect with CBT as design architects.
