Milton Academy – Faulkner Health Center

An addition and renovation breathes new life into an 18th c. house we call Eight Gables.  The project is sited on an extraordinary salt-water marsh on the north coast of Massachusetts.  It consists of a colonial era house, a barn…

A broad gable gives the museum a public presence in the village, and a tower with a bell-shaped dome announces the entrance. An outside gathering space behind the museum with a large deck and gazebo overlooks and connects the building to a nature preserve.

This eclectic and innovative design re-imagines how to live within a traditional 5-story Boston townhouse. Some floors were removed and the basement excavated to create new double-height spaces. A new stair animates the space with a collage of seemingly randomly stacked boxes that tumble between the two levels.
