John Olver Transit Center / Charles Rose Architects

Valeria Silva — Fri, 16 Jun 2023 16:00:00 +0000

The John W. Olver Transit Center, located in Greenfield, MA, is the first net-zero transit center in the United States. It was funded in part by the FTA and ARRA. Since its completion, the 24,000 SF intermodal transit hub has introduced high-performance design to Franklin County, demonstrating a commitment to sustainability and ethical design. The project serves as a depot for regional and interstate bus lines, a station for AMTRAK’s Vermonter and Valley Flyer lines, and an office for the Franklin Regional Council of Governments. The project received a 2023 AIA COTE Top 10 award.

Ankara Office Tower / Anmahian Winton Architects

Daniel Tapia — Sat, 23 Dec 2017 02:00:00 +0000

The Ankara Office Tower is a fourteen-story office building in Ankara, Turkey, that serves local and international high tech companies engaging with leading universities and research institutes in the nation’s capital. Urbanistically, the project plays an important role in a rapidly developing area west of Ankara’s old city centre, knitting together a transit corridor, a pedestrian underpass, an emerging mixed-use neighbourhood, and new commercial areas. In response to this immediate context, the building is set back from the highway, making space for a bamboo grove that buffers a habitable urban garden and provides a much-needed pedestrian connection between the transportation node and the adjacent neighbourhood.

Cove House / LSS

Daniel Tapia — Tue, 22 Aug 2017 08:00:00 +0000

The Cove House embodies the client’s desire for a contemporary house that is respectful of both the New England vernacular and its immediate neighborhood. The form is an adaptation of the massing and materiality of the classic saltbox typology that meets the standards of the historic district commission while also satisfying the clients’ desire for a distinctive home.

House of Shifting Sands / Ruhl Walker Architects

Cristian Aguilar — Mon, 08 Jun 2015 13:00:41 +0000

Sited gently on the lower slope of a dramatic sixty foot high coastal bank and surrounded by miles of undeveloped Cape Cod National Seashore beaches and scrub pines is a warm, modern beach house that is more than just a place to enjoy uninterrupted ocean views and sea breezes. Our clients dreamed of a house that would work equally well as both a year-round family “camp” and also as a “thinking retreat” for collaborating with their colleagues.

Island House / Peter Rose + Partners

Daniel Sánchez — Mon, 24 Mar 2014 00:00:00 +0000

Nestled in the richly wooded grounds of a narrow strip of land on the island of Chappaquiddick near Edgartown, Massachusetts, this single‐family residence is part of a collection of environment‐ and landscape‐centric interventions that blur the boundaries between structures and landscape, and between inside and outside. Comprised of four structures – a 6,300 SF main residence, a 630 SF garage, a 270 SF storage shed, and a 130 SF boat house – the site is bounded by the ocean to the west and by a well‐protected, shallow bay to the east. The project replaced a house, garage/guest house, and a long driveway running through a meadow, previously located on the site.

Beach House / Aamodt / Plumb Architects

Sebastian Jordana — Fri, 13 Sep 2013 00:00:00 +0000

The Beach House is located on a narrow barrier island on the south shore of Long Island, an hour and a half from Manhattan. With exposures to the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Shinnecock Bay on the other, the property is regularly subjected to extreme coastal weather conditions. The design had to reconcile the desire to openly experience the landscape with a real need for protection.

Joukowsky Institute / Anmahian Winton Architects

Jesse Ganes — Wed, 10 Aug 2011 00:00:00 +0000

The Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology & The Ancient World is housed in the newly refurbished Rhode Island Hall at the center of the campus of Brown University. A Historic Greek Revival building, the structure has gained new life with the insertion of a new interior and programatic layout in a way that contrasts the building's normative exterior. Anmahian Winton Architects sought to create a space that promoted interaction between students and faculty guided by partitions, screens, and structure formed by a clear material logic.

Page Road House / Andrew Cohen Architects

Andrew Rosenberg — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 00:00:00 +0000

Andrew Cohen Architects conceived Page Road House's iconic sculptural form in dialogue with the landscape and topography of a densely wooded 12-acre site in Lincoln, a close suburb of Boston that has carefully preserved its agrarian character. After commissioning ACA to design the Springstep Center for the Arts, the homeowner sought an equally ambitious and forward-looking design for her home to convey her passion for the performing and visual arts. As the founding director of Springstep, she entertains and hosts fundraising events frequently, so the house needed spaces commodious enough to contain a crowd, while still being an inviting and intimate retreat the rest of the time.

Community Rowing Boathouse / Anmahian Winton Architects

Nico Saieh — Tue, 25 May 2010 00:00:00 +0000

The Harleston Parker Medal is awarded each year to “the single most beautiful building or other structure” built in the metropolitan Boston area built in the past 10 years. Anmahian Winton has achieved this with its innovative and sustainable design for the Community Rowing boathouse in its first year of eligibility.

Blue Rock House / Anmahian Winton Architects

Nico Saieh — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 00:00:00 +0000

A new house, guesthouse, and garage form a community of buildings on a rural hilltop site, evoking a rural homestead. The buildings define a formal courtyard that opens to specific views of the Berkshire and Catskill Mountains. Copper, wood, and bluestone are the primary materials, deployed to affect a minimal and sculptural vocabulary.
