Certified LEED Gold Design
A Certified LEED Gold design accommodating the corporate headquarters for Converse, Inc.
Together with the TD Garden sports arena, it frames the southbound approach to Boston from the landmark Zakim Bridge, where the Charles River meets Boston Harbor.
Lovejoy Wharf was permitted under both Boston’s Article 80 Large Project Review as well as Massachusetts’ rigorous Chapter 91 licensing process, and proposed the demolition of one of two existing nine-story industrial brick structures on the site, and was replaced by a new 15-story tower, and the renovation and adaptive reuse of the remaining building.
The certified LEED Gold design also includes the reconstruction of a 30,000 square foot wharf structure into a new waterfront plaza and construction of a 7,000 square foot wharf pavilion. The renovation portion of the project accommodates the new corporate headquarters for world-renown sneaker manufacturer, Converse, Inc.
As master planner and architect-of-record for the new Lovejoy Wharf complex, the firm was also the Executive Architect for the exteriors of both the Converse retail store and the one-story recording studio, Rubber Tracks, which sit on the wharf structure itself.
