Louis Boston's new waterfront home

Interesting industrial aesthetic for the usually laid back luxury apparel store at Fan Pier.  The second floor deck will be a great place for a summer lunch.  We like it for this area of open space along the water outside the realm of the dense urban fabric that is hoped for in the Seaport District.  Design by...anyone?

Another Nice South End house

Also by Grassi design.  Although this looks less personal and more for speculative sale or rent, and therefore more conventional, we still very much like the reverential attitude toward the neighbors without being a slave to them.  I'd live there for sure.  Good job!

MIT Media Lab Addition, a few details

Some new images of the interior lobby and the beautiful exterior screens for your enjoyment:

South End house, continued admiration

The wraps came off this end-of-the-row house at the corner of Clarendon and Lawrence recently and what a great surprise!  Nice and modern, exuberant, and not shy about it.  Good job on a tough site.  We can't wait for the punchlist to be complete so we confirm it as the best addition to the neighborhood in a long, long time.

MIT Media Lab Addition completed

Leers Weinzapfel Associates execution of Fumihiko Maki's design for the addition to the Media Lab at MIT appears in its final compact grey-on-grey form.  It is strangely colorless, but the layering of screens and glazed walls is quite nice.
