Boston, MA – Margulies Perruzzi Architects (MPA) completed the design of a new 8,900sf office at One Boston Place in downtown Boston for SV Life Sciences Advisers LLC. MPA provided interior architecture and design services for the new office.
MPA used 3D design software (BIM) to involve the client throughout the hands-on, interactive design process and show work as it progressed. MPA employs an interactive design approach and cutting-edge technology to engage clients in a real-time design process.
The design intent for the project was twofold: to create an open and contemporary aesthetic that fosters teamwork while incorporating the latest teleconferencing capabilities, and to design a central gathering place where associates can meet casually to maintain their culture of collegial cooperation.
The space features offices with views of the Custom House Tower and Boston Harbor, workstations, a boardroom with videoconferencing capabilities, and a central kitchen and social space. The neutral color palette is accented by custom natural cherry wood millwork with glass on and around each office door. To provide more light and maintain openness throughout the space, partial glass walls were used in the kitchen and workstations.
The project team included Structure Tone for construction management, Vanderweil for mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineering, and Providea Conferencing, LLC for audiovisual design and installation. Silverman Trykowski Associates, Inc. provided furniture selection, and W.B. Mason provided furniture for the project.
