Architectural Offices
and Art Gallery
Somerville, MA

Project: 3,500 Sq. Ft
Offices & Retail Space

Program: Program: An increase in the number of projects and the success of an associated art gallery business has required the expansion of existing offices and a new gallery space. The developer's limited build-out allowance called for innovative design and the creative use of inexpensive materials. Three-dimensional computer modeling was used extensively to develop the design.

In designing our own space, we considered ourselves as we would any other client: We asked ourselves to look introspectively at how we work and how we wanted to work. We spent time evaluating how the art gallery and architectural office might augment and compliment eachother's functions. The shared space underscores our desire to create an environment that would resonate with our design philosophy and invite others to enjoy architecture in ways not before experienced.
