An open loft hallway defined by the columns and the curved wall on the one side that separates the public space from the private bedrooms. The curved wall is a nod to the history of the building when it was used to print books. It represents the flowing paper as it is run through a printing press.

This project encompasses the renovation of two aging metal warehouses located on an acre just North of the 610 loop. The larger warehouse, previously an auto body shop, measures 6000 square feet and will contain a residence, art studio, and garage. A light well puncturing the middle of the main residence brightens the core of the deep building. The over-sized roof opening washes light down three masonry walls that define the light well and divide the public and private realms of the residence. The interior of the light well is conceived as a serene place of reflection while providing ample natural light into the Master Bedroom. Large windows infill the previous garage door openings and are shaded by a generous steel canopy as well as a new evergreen tree court to the west. Adjacent, a 1200 sf building is reconfigured for a guest or visiting artist residence and studio with a shared outdoor patio for entertaining. Photo by Peter Molick, Art by Karin Broker

Much consideration was given to views that surround the home. The home sits on a reservoir and has breathtaking views from almost every room that the designers wanted to honor. The home is infused with natural and earthy elements throughout, but the application is decidedly more contemporary. A stacked stone wall becomes the “spine” of the home, linking the exterior to the interior, and suggests a line of separation between the public and private spaces in the home.

A Friendly Flock Touches Down The inspiration for the mosaic murals in Frieda Garcia Park in Boston came from children’s artwork. I held art classes with children from the community at Ellis Memorial and United South End Settlements. The young students created beautiful prints, drawings and collages of birds that I used to populate the magical landscapes for the park. The final design was translated into a glass mosaic by Unicorn Art Studio.
