TBT A former farmhouse in Lexington, MA reimagined as a contemporary home for an artist. The project introduces a series of sculptural interventions—sawtooth walls, custom windows, glass parapets, and a peeled facade with an oculus—layered onto the existing structure. Set within a large, rural lot, the design balances playful expression with the scale and character of its surroundings.

Overlooking Salem Harbor in Marblehead, this custom geothermal home pairs high-performance systems with durable, tactile materials. Designed with passive solar principles, a highly insulated envelope, and high-velocity AC, the house balances energy performance with long-term resilience. Bluestone cavity walls and shiplap western red cedar define the exterior, responding to the coastal setting and views across from the boat landing.

Unbuilt TBT. A decade ago, we studied a small entry pavilion addition to a raised ranch in Natick, MA. The design works with the sloped site to create a new entry and mudroom while carving out storage below the deck for firewood and garden tools. A compact intervention to rethink arrival, circulation, and everyday use.

Part of a broader effort to sustain working waterfront use in Salem, MA, the Brewer Hawthorne Cove Marina introduces a new boat repair building with offices, a café, and three ship bays for maintenance and repair. Oversized hangar doors allow direct access for boats via travel lift, supporting efficient operations on site. The lot is designed for seasonal flexibility—winter boat storage and summer parking—while maintaining continuity with the surrounding neighborhood. Adjacent to the House of Seven Gables, the project extends the site's long-standing industrial and seafaring use through careful integration with its historic context.

Comm Ave Photography is Complete!

A few teasers here of the gorgeous shoot we just completed in Back Bay. This lovingly renovated and reconfigured home in Back Bay, was designed to strike a balance between the ornate historic ballroom and the clients more contemporary leanings. While the new design language utilizes historic elements such as plaster moldings, medallions and chandeliers, they are paired with a steel framed 15'h glass wall, soaring marble backsplashes, rolling library ladders, and other high to

New windows and doors will replace the original models, and new low-maintenance siding will clad the walls, a combination of cement tongue & groove siding and ship-l
