Our team worked with various university department heads to develop a consensus in design solutions for each department, and we developed a cohesive master plan for long-term design standards for the campus.

Ferrari of New England
Boch Automotive
To truly achieve success with the renovation of the Ferrari Maserati Dealership of New England meant that our team had to create and execute a design as high-end as the cars for sale within the building. To do so, every single detail was massively important to us, from the immaculate white walls to the illumination built into the ceilings and every nook and cranny, providing the right lighting to highlight each car’s sleek design. Thorough and consistent communication throughout the project led to the successful completion of this unique and luxurious space, a feat that was achieved because every tradesman involved brought their best ideas and collaborative effort to the project each day.

HFA Franklin Studio
HFA
HFA is an architecture + engineering firm with studios in Bentonville, AR; Franklin, MA; Fort Worth, TX; and Mexico City. As our talent continues to grow, so does our need for updated, innovative office spaces. Both the Bentonville and Franklin studios were recently updated, with our design teams leading the charge of these projects. The Bentonville studio’s adaptive reuse renovation took a dormant building and transformed it into a LEED-CI Gold workspace with an open floor plan that embraces natural lighting, vibrant color palates, and reclaimed wood throughout. The space was intentionally designed to allow those working within to collaborate, focus, learn, and socialize. In Franklin, we partnered with Enformed Construction Services (ECS) to transform the existing workspace during the height of COVID-19. With various delays and supply chain issues, this renovation was split into two phases. Phase one was completed in 2020 and featured space for twenty-four workstations, three private offices, a new kitchen and break room with seating for 12, and four conference rooms to accommodate meetings for up to 10 people.

The Point
Sam Park & Co
Located at the intersection of 495 & Rt. 119 in Littleton, MA, The Point integrates into a very challenging and steeply graded site. With expertise in master planning and retail/mixed-use, HFA was able to work with the grades and create three platform levels of retail (low, middle, and high). To take advantage of the varying grade levels, HFA was able to maximize retail frontage by creating a combination of single and twostory retail buildings with some buildings being carved into the hillside. The resulting placement of buildings to address site grade resulted in the opportunity to create outdoor activity spaces with framed views and vistas into the development

Ledger Showroom
Ledger
Part of a much larger office space that is still under construction, the Ledger Showroom project was unique in that it has provided our team with a place to test out designs, textiles, furnishings, and other functionalities that will one day be used in the larger Ledger Building. This space is made even more unique because of its intended use as a bikeable, high-density coworking space, so our team had to be very creative and incorporate wall hooks for accessible, yet aesthetically pleasing bike storage, allowing people to bike to and from work. Our team even worked to incorporate elements like phone booths in the showroom for a sense of privacy within the open plan coworking space. By test fitting furnishings and design elements while the space is being used allows our team to make real-time changes and further informs the overall design of the larger building, slated to open in mid-2022.
