ZeroEnergy DesignThis renovated brick rowhome in Boston’s South End offers a modern aesthetic within a historic structure, creative use of space, exceptional thermal comfort, a reduced carbon footprint, and a passive stream of income.
DESIGN PRIORITIES. The goals for the project were clear - design the primary unit to accommodate the family’s modern lifestyle, rework the layout to create a desirable rental unit, improve thermal comfort and introduce a modern aesthetic. We designed the street-level entry as a shared entrance for both the primary and rental unit. The family uses it as their everyday entrance - we planned for bike storage and an open mudroom with bench and shoe storage to facilitate the change from shoes to slippers or bare feet as they enter their home. On the main level, we expanded the kitchen into the dining room to create an eat-in space with generous counter space and storage, as well as a comfortable connection to the living space. The second floor serves as master suite for the couple - a bedroom with a walk-in-closet and ensuite bathroom, and an adjacent study, with refinished original pumpkin pine floors. The upper floor, aside from a guest bedroom, is the child's domain with interconnected spaces for sleeping, work and play. In the play space, which can be separated from the work space with new translucent sliding doors, we incorporated recreational features inspired by adventurous and competitive television shows, at their son’s request.
MODERN MEETS TRADITIONAL. We left the historic front facade of the building largely unchanged - the security bars were removed from the windows and the single pane windows were replaced with higher performing historic replicas. We designed the interior and rear facade with a vision of warm modernism, weaving in the notable period features. Each element was either restored or reinterpreted to blend with the modern aesthetic. The detailed ceiling in the living space, for example, has a new matte monochromatic finish, and the wood stairs are covered in a dark grey floor paint, whereas the mahogany doors were simply refinished. New wide plank wood flooring with a neutral finish, floor-to-ceiling casework, and bold splashes of color in wall paint and tile, and oversized high-performance windows (on the rear facade) round out the modern aesthetic.
RENTAL INCOME. The existing rowhome was zoned for a 2-family dwelling but included an undesirable, single-floor studio apartment at the garden level with low ceiling heights and questionable emergency egress. In order to increase the quality and quantity of space in the rental unit, we reimagined it as a two-floor, 1 or 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment with a modern aesthetic, increased ceiling height on the lowest level and provided an in-unit washer/dryer. The apartment was listed with Jackie O'Connor Real Estate and rented immediately, providing the owners with a source of passive income.
ENCLOSURE WITH BENEFITS. The homeowners sought a minimal carbon footprint, enabled by their urban location and lifestyle decisions, paired with the benefits of a high-performance home. The extent of the renovation allowed us to implement a deep energy retrofit (DER) to address air tightness, insulation, and high-performance windows. The historic front facade is insulated from the interior, while the rear facade is insulated on the exterior. Together with these building enclosure improvements, we designed an HVAC system comprised of continuous fresh air ventilation, and an efficient, all-electric heating and cooling system to decouple the house from natural gas. This strategy provides optimal thermal comfort and indoor air quality, improved acoustic isolation from street noise and neighbors, as well as a further reduced carbon footprint. We also took measures to prepare the roof for future solar panels, for when the South End neighborhood’s aging electrical infrastructure is upgraded to allow them.
URBAN LIVING. The desirable neighborhood location allows the both the homeowners and tenant to walk, bike, and use public transportation to access the city, while each charging their respective plug-in electric cars behind the building to travel greater distances.
OVERALL. The understated rowhouse is now ready for another century of urban living, offering the owners comfort and convenience as they live life as an expression of their values.

ROAM ArchitectureThis one-room sunroom addition is connected to both an existing wood deck, as well as the dining room inside. As part of the project, the homeowners replaced the deck flooring material with composite decking, which gave us the opportunity to run that material into the addition as well, giving the room a seamless indoor / outdoor transition. We also designed the space to be surrounded with windows on three sides, as well as glass doors and skylights, flooding the interior with natural light and giving the homeowners the visual connection to the outside which they so desired. The addition, 12'-0" wide x 21'-6" long, has enabled the family to enjoy the outdoors both in the early spring, as well as into the fall, and has become a wonderful gathering space for the family and their guests.
The Artisans Group, Inc.Winner of the 2018 Tour of Homes Best Remodel, this whole house re-design of a 1963 Bennet & Johnson mid-century raised ranch home is a beautiful example of the magic we can weave through the application of more sustainable modern design principles to existing spaces.
We worked closely with our client on extensive updates to create a modernized MCM gem.
Extensive alterations include:
- a completely redesigned floor plan to promote a more intuitive flow throughout
- vaulted the ceilings over the great room to create an amazing entrance and feeling of inspired openness
- redesigned entry and driveway to be more inviting and welcoming as well as to experientially set the mid-century modern stage
- the removal of a visually disruptive load bearing central wall and chimney system that formerly partitioned the homes’ entry, dining, kitchen and living rooms from each other
- added clerestory windows above the new kitchen to accentuate the new vaulted ceiling line and create a greater visual continuation of indoor to outdoor space
- drastically increased the access to natural light by increasing window sizes and opening up the floor plan
- placed natural wood elements throughout to provide a calming palette and cohesive Pacific Northwest feel
- incorporated Universal Design principles to make the home Aging In Place ready with wide hallways and accessible spaces, including single-floor living if needed
- moved and completely redesigned the stairway to work for the home’s occupants and be a part of the cohesive design aesthetic
- mixed custom tile layouts with more traditional tiling to create fun and playful visual experiences
- custom designed and sourced MCM specific elements such as the entry screen, cabinetry and lighting
- development of the downstairs for potential future use by an assisted living caretaker
- energy efficiency upgrades seamlessly woven in with much improved insulation, ductless mini splits and solar gain

LORRAINE G VALE, Allied ASIDIn this combination living room/ family room, form vs function is at it's best.. Formal enough to host a cocktail party, and comfortable enough to host a football game. The wrap around sectional accommodates 5-6 people and the oversized ottoman has room enough for everyone to put their feet up! The high back, stylized wing chair offers comfort and a lamp for reading. Decorative accessories are placed in the custom built bookcases freeing table top space for drinks, books, etc. Magazines and current reading are neatly placed in the rattan tray for easy access. The overall neutral color palette is punctuated by soft shades of blue around the room.

The bright and open space provides the perfect entertaining area for friends and family. A glimpse into the adjacent kitchen reveals walnut barstools and a striking mix of kitchen cabinet colors in deep blue and walnut.
ZeroEnergy DesignThis LEED Platinum certified house reflects the homeowner's desire for an exceptionally healthy and comfortable living environment, within a traditional neighborhood.
INFILL SITE. The family, who moved from another area of Wellesley, sought out this property to be within walking distance of the high school and downtown area. An existing structure on the tight lot was removed to make way for the new home. 84% of the construction waste, from both the previous structure and the new home, was diverted from a landfill. ZED designed to preserve the existing mature trees on the perimeter of the property to minimize site impacts, and to maintain the character of the neighborhood as well as privacy on the site.
EXTERIOR EXPRESSION. The street facade of the home relates to the local New England vernacular. The rear uses contemporary language, a nod to the family’s Californian roots, to incorporate a roof deck, solar panels, outdoor living space, and the backyard swimming pool. ZED’s careful planning avoided to the need to face the garage doors towards the street, a common syndrome of a narrow lot.
THOUGHTFUL SPACE. Homes with dual entries can often result in duplicate and unused spaces. In this home, the everyday and formal entry areas are one and the same; the front and garage doors share the entry program of coat closets, mudroom storage with bench for removing your shoes, and a laundry room with generous closets for the children's sporting equipment. The entry area leads directly to the living space, encompassing the kitchen, dining and sitting area areas in an L-shaped open plan arrangement. The kitchen is placed at the south-west corner of the space to allow for a strong connection to the dining, sitting and outdoor living spaces. A fire pit on the deck satisfies the family’s desire for an open flame while a sealed gas fireplace is used indoors - ZED’s preference after omitting gas burning appliances completely from an airtight home. A small study, with a window seat, is conveniently located just off of the living space. A first floor guest bedroom includes an accessible bathroom for aging visitors and can be used as a master suite to accommodate aging in place.
HEALTHY LIVING. The client requested a home that was easy to clean and would provide a respite from seasonal allergies and common contaminants that are found in many indoor spaces. ZED selected easy to clean solid surface flooring throughout, provided ample space for cleaning supplies on each floor, and designed a mechanical system with ventilation that provides a constant supply of fresh outdoor air. ZED selected durable materials, finishes, cabinetry, and casework with low or no volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and no added urea formaldehyde.
YEAR-ROUND COMFORT. The home is super insulated and air-tight, paired with high performance triple-paned windows, to ensure it is draft-free throughout the winter (even when in front of the large windows and doors). ZED designed a right-sized heating and cooling system to pair with the thermally improved building enclosure to ensure year-round comfort. The glazing on the home maximizes passive solar gains, and facilitates cross ventilation and daylighting.
ENERGY EFFICIENT. As one of the most energy efficient houses built to date in Wellesley, the home highlights a practical solution for Massachusetts. First, the building enclosure reduces the largest energy requirement for typical houses (heating). Super-insulation, exceptional air sealing, a thermally broken wall assembly, triple pane windows, and passive solar gain combine for a sizable heating load reduction. Second, within the house only efficient systems consume energy. These include an air source heat pump for heating & cooling, a heat pump hot water heater, LED lighting, energy recovery ventilation, and high efficiency appliances. Lastly, photovoltaics provide renewable energy help offset energy consumption. The result is an 89% reduction in energy use compared to a similar brand new home built to code requirements.
RESILIENT. The home will fare well in extreme weather events. During a winter power outage, heat loss will be very slow due to the super-insulated and airtight envelope– taking multiple days to drop to 60 degrees even with no heat source. An engineered drainage system, paired with careful the detailing of the foundation, will help to keep the finished basement dry. A generator will provide full operation of the all-electric house during a power outage.
OVERALL. The home is a reflection of the family goals and an expression of their values, beautifully enabling health, comfort, safety, resilience, and utility, all while respecting the planet.

Студия дизайна Елены и Ярослава АлдошиныхИз исходных данный у нас было, отделённое монолитной стеной, пространство кухни, зона спальни с большой светлой лоджией и панорамными окнами, дающими хорошее естественное освещение и общий санузел, который мы разделили на два. И довольно обширная зона с двумя окнами посередине квартиры, которая и представляла основную загвоздку. Из этого пространства нам нужно было создать, по заданию заказчиков, две вместительные детские комнаты и из оставшегося пространство создать холл-гостиную. Так же рядом со входом в квартиру необходимо было расположить гардеробную комнату. Исходя из этих условия мы и провели всю перепланировку.
Главная идея проекта - создать лёгкий и светлый интерьер с настроением французской современной квартиры, артистическими азиатскими деталями и цветными пятнами. Спроектировать традиционное пространство на основе классических элементов, наполнив его азиатскими нотками, которые очень любят владельцы, ведь Азия - их излюбленное направление для путешествий, хоть в душе, по характеру и стилю жизни они «утончённые европейцы».
Гостиная - светлое обволакивающее пространство с обтекаемой элегантной мебелью, и графичными тёмными линиями декора и подвесного светильника, перекликающихся с росчерками искусства. Монотонное умиротворяюще пространство, где по вечерам собирается семья. Здесь мы отдали предпочтение контрасту фактур рыхлого текстиля мебели и гладких поверхностей.
В спальне мы создали более экстравагантную атмосферу. Внесли на чистую классическую основу штрихи азиатского колорита, который так любят владельцы. Ширму-изголовье кровати украшает ручная роспись на шёлке по мотивам шинуазри, а подвесные светильники в изголовье кровати напоминают завитки иероглифов.
Кухня так же имеет восточные элементы. Светильники авторства Alexis Dornier, изготовленные ограниченным тиражом из переработанной рисовой бумаги, расположенные над столом, мы собственноручно привезли с острова Бали в чемодане. Чего не сделаешь для любимых заказчиков! Кухонная мебель выполнена в двух оттенках - коралловом и ментоловом. Массивный тёмный стол и граничные силуэты стульев задают ритм, создают контраст и продолжают тему, заданную в гостиной.
Так же в квартире расположены два санузла - ванная комната и душевая. Ванная комната «для девочек» декорирована мрамором и выполнена в нежных пудровых оттенках. Санузел для главы семейства - яркий, а душевая напоминает открытый балийский душ в тропических зарослях.
Детские комнаты для двух девочек тоже спроектированы в нежных оттенках, имеют много места для хранения и письменные столы для занятий и кровати, изголовье которых расположено в нише, для создания ощущения защищённости и комфорта. Подвесные светильники авторства ONG CEN KUANG, созданные из текстильных молний для одежды мы так же привезли сами для заказчиков с острова Бали.
Цветовая палитра проекта разнообразна, но в то же время отчасти сдержана. Нам хотелось добавить цветовые акценты, создать радостный, сочный интерьер, так подходящий по темпераменту заказчикам. Мы использовали несколько цветовых схем, но в тоже время собирая пространство воедино, с помощью нейтральных фоновых оттенков стен во всех комнатах, это хорошая основа для воплощения любого интерьера и соединения всех пространств в единый образ. В гостевом санузле мы позволили себе шалость и покрасили стены в глубокий оттенок зелени. Далее через время и исходя из своих ощущений, меняющихся с течением жизни, заказчики смогут изменять настроение интерьера заменяя искусство в интерьере, текстиль и некоторые предметы, для этого мы намеренно оставили такую возможность.
Во всей квартире мы используем приточно-вытяжную вентиляцию и кондиционирования. На наш взгляд это очень важно с точки зрения здоровья и комфорта жильцов. Так же в кухне мы отказались от навесной верхней вытяжки, использую варочную поверхность Elica NIKOLATESLA со встроенной в неё вытяжкой, это визуально облегчает композицию, убирая верхние шкафы.
Как мы рассказывали ранее, 5 светильников для наших заказчиков мы привезли с острова Бали. Мы очень сдружились со всем семейством и нам захотелось привнести что-то необычное и эксклюзивное в интерьер. Поэтому находясь в командировке на другом нашем Балийском объекте, мы выделили несколько дней на поиски и подобрали для интерьера эти классные предметы с другого конца света, которые в итоге еле-еле поместились в огромный чемодан и были заботливо доставлены нами собственноручно в Москву.
