Boston – Margulies Perruzzi Architects has completed the design of 11,400sf of new office space for Weiss Asset Management. Margulies Perruzzi Architects provided interior architecture and design services for the project, which is located at 222 Berkeley Street in Boston.
Previously located on Commonwealth Avenue, Weiss Asset’s new office provides increased space for the firm’s 70 employees, in an open layout on one floor of the building. The space features a technology-intensive trading floor for 48 traders, five offices, conference rooms, and collaborative meeting areas with videoconferencing capabilities. Amenities include a catering kitchen with dining area and an exercise room with showers.
With an eye toward sustainable design, Margulies Perruzzi Architects saved 50% of the existing building, reusing light fixtures, millwork, carpet, conference room and office furniture, and the stone floor in the lobby.
Commodore Builders was the general contractor for the project. WSP Flack & Kurtz provided mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineering and telecommunications consulting, and Fort Point Project Management provided project management services.
